Create and Manage Build Executor Templates

You can create and manage build executor templates from the Organization Administration page's Build Executor Templates tab.

Note:

You can't create or manage executor templates if VB Studio is connected to the built-in free account. If you want to use software that isn't available in the default executor templates, configure VB Studio to connect to your OCI account. See Change Your OCI Account.

VB Studio offers these executor templates out-of-the-box for your organization to use. You can't modify or delete these executor templates.
