BDD Select Roles Through LiteTouch Wizard
Well I figured I would upload my current "Deployment Roles" document that describes how to modify your current BDD 2007 scripts to include the ability to configure and manage roles on a database table to make them selectable on the LiteTouch wizard.
This article is for advanced BDD users or those comfortable in editing their own BDD scripts. If you are to follow this document, then make a backup of every file that is to be modified. This allows you to put the original code back once a BDD update comes out, as well as if anything breaks after you impliment it.
I am working on an updated procedure that should be a much cleaner approach and will also work with ZTI as Ben Hunter has hinted about doing in his blog of using LTI wizards in ZTI. But if you want to know, yes we are using this current procedure in production now with no issues. The main downside to it is to manage the rolegroups requires you to use another method (such as SQL Management Studio) other than the workbench to update the deploymentgroup table since the current BDD Workbench doesn't support or even acknowledge this table exists because it is custom with the procedure.
