Jenkins PER USER default parameter values? - jenkins

Question

We are using a parameterized Jenkins build job, and I would like to have default values for some parameters specific for myself, e.g. the dev branch name I mostly use. Is it possible? We do have personal users in Jenkins.

Answer 1

You could do it by:
Create a scriptler which checks the current user and returns the appropriate value:
def user = jenkins.model.Jenkins.getAuthentication().getName();
def returnValue
switch (user) {
case ['user1','user2']:
returnValue = 'xyz'
break;
case ['user3']:
returnValue = 'abc'
break;
default:
returnValue = '00'
break;
}
return returnValue
If you want to use the Active Choices Plugin your script will need to return a list:
def user = jenkins.model.Jenkins.getAuthentication().getName();
def returnValue = [];
switch (user) {
case ['user1','user2']:
returnValue << 'xyz'
break;
case ['mtlelj']:
returnValue << 'abc'
break;
default:
returnValue << '00'
break;
}
return returnValue
Configure your parameterized build to have a Dynamic Parameter (Scriptler) or an Active Choices parameter and reference the script you created as it's source.
If you don't want a script centrally managed by admins, the Active Choices Parameter allows you to use the code within the parameter definition. I'm using:
Jenkins ver 2.32.3
Scriptler Plugin ver 2.9
Dynamic Parameter Plugin ver 2.9
Active Choices Plugin ver 2.9
