loading groovy class in jenkins pipeline - jenkins

Question

I am currently trying to load a custom groovy class from a file in my jenkins pipeline. I have attempted the solution proposed here:
How to import a file of classes in a Jenkins Pipeline?
as...
JenkinsPipelineUtilityClass.groovy
class JenkinsPipelineUtilityClass {
final String name = "TEST"
protected void printName() {
println this.name
}
}
Object getProperty(String name){
return this.getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass(name).newInstance();
}
return this
Jenkinsfile
def classes = load "myPath/JenkinsPipelineUtilityClass.groovy"
and also attempted using the GroovyClassLoader as so (using the above class again)
Jenkinsfile
def parent = getClass().getClassLoader()
def loader = new GroovyClassLoader(parent)
def groovyClass = loader.parseClass(readFile("myPath/JenkinsPipelineUtilityClass.groovy")).newInstance()
and I run into the same error with both:

I've checked the in-process script approval and nothing is in there and I'm stumped.

Answer 1

whenever i get a "RejectedAccessException" i immediately check the "In Process Script Approval" screen,
this screen allow the Jenkins administrator to decide which methods / classes the script writer is allowed to run/access,
this screen can be found at the url:
http://JENKINS_SERVER:JENKINS_PORT/scriptApproval
for example:
http://localhost:8080/scriptApproval
or you can access it through the administrator menu option:
Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> In-process Script Approval
you can read more about it in jenkins docs
so you just need to go to that screen and press approve button on the class/method that was denied,
