Query on Jenkins version - Jenkins ver. 1.427

[Manjunath D G]

Hi All,

I have quick Query on Jenkins version - Jenkins ver. 1.427 which I’m using at my origination. Want to know if we have a feasibility of add groups and enable permissions to groups like what we have in BuildForge? We would like to restrict normal users from doing admin jobs like, creating new project, deleting projects, stopping running projects, slave configuring …etc, but I see we have Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy/ Matrix-based security/ Enabling UNIX Authentication. But looking like similar to what we have in Buildforge were you can create group and assign list of users to that specific group.

 

 

Is this feature is available in new version of Jenkins where I can download and install?

 

Regards,

Manju

You might be after the RBAC plugin available in Jenkins Enterprise and described at http://jenkins-enterprise.cloudbees.com/docs/user-guide-bundle/rbac.html

It allows defining groups local to jenkins and even local to specific folders within jenkins. Additionally roles can be assigned at specific levels too.

In general Jenkins assumes that groups and group information is provided by the authentication provider (e.g. Unix auth / ActiveDirectory / LDAP / etc)

All the open source Authorization strategies that I am aware of assume that the group information comes from the authentication provider. (see my employer's hat for the non-open source exceptions)
