-# NetAuth authentication and user info plugins for buildbot
+## buildbot-netauth
+
+NetAuth authentication, user info, and avatar plugin for buildbot
+
+### Usage
+
+1. Install the plugin, for example: `pip install buildbot-netauth`
+
+2. In your `buildmaster.cfg`, add:
+
+```py
+from buildbot.plugins import util
+
+netauth = util.BuildbotNetAuth(conf=Path("/etc/netauth/config.toml"))
+
+# in your buildmaster config object
+c["www"]["auth"] = netauth
+c["www"]["avatar_methods"] = [netauth, ...]
+```
+
+### Notes
+
+- The plugin looks at the entity KV store key `avatar` to set the avatar. Store a URL to an image there.
+- The plugin sets the email address of the user to `entity_id@netauth`.
+The plugin looks at the following metadata on NetAuth entities:
+
+- entity ID: used as an "email" in the format `entity_id@netauth`
+- entity display name or legal name: if set, will be used for the `full_name` buildbot user property in that fallback order
+- entity group membership: used for the `groups` buildbot user property and can be used for buildbot authz, for example:
+
+```py
+from buildbot.plugins import util
+
+c["www"]["authz"] = util.Authz(
+    allowRules=[
+        util.AnyEndpointMatcher(role="ops", defaultDeny=False),
+        util.AnyControlEndpointMatcher(role="ops"),
+    ],
+    roleMatchers=[
+        util.RolesFromGroups(groupPrefix="build-"),
+    ]
+)
+```
