Summary

It may be necessary for data auditing, retention and reporting purposes to identify the user who executed a manual deployment in Bamboo via the database.

Solution

The user who executed the deployment can be found in the DEPLOYMENT_RESULT_CUSTOMDATA table. It is stored in a CUSTOM_INFO_KEY of 'ManualBuildTriggerReason.userName' under the CUSTOM_INFO_VALUE column.

Here is an example query that performs all the relevant joins to tie in deployment-related information and filters for deployments with a triggering user:

1 2 3 4 5 SELECT DP.*, DE.*, DR.*, DRCD.* FROM DEPLOYMENT_RESULT DR JOIN DEPLOYMENT_RESULT_CUSTOMDATA DRCD ON DR.DEPLOYMENT_RESULT_ID = DRCD.DEPLOYMENT_RESULT_ID JOIN DEPLOYMENT_ENVIRONMENT DE ON DR.ENVIRONMENT_ID = DE.ENVIRONMENT_ID JOIN DEPLOYMENT_PROJECT DP ON DE.PACKAGE_DEFINITION_ID = DP.DEPLOYMENT_PROJECT_ID WHERE CUSTOM_INFO_KEY = 'ManualBuildTriggerReason.userName';
