How to allow a user in Jenkins to access only single job?
We use Jenkins own user database and Project based matrix authorization strategy.
User can login only if I give overall read, once I give Overall Read he can build as well not sure why. :)
Thanks in advance.

I have a server where Jenkins is configured and running as a service. My team is of 8 people who access the Jenkins via browser for performing deployments on demand.
How do get the System properties like the Username or the host name of the System where the Jenkins is accessed.
How do i configure the job so that i get to know who performed the deployment?
NOTE: I do not want to create users for all of them and provide credentials. There will be a unique credentials and everyone uses the same.

I think there is no way around to create different Users or use #Ian w suggestion.
If you stick to your idea to use only One credential for all user you should consider setting a Parameter Choice for everyone of your 8 People. So everyone pick his/her Name when he/she Starts a Job.

We cannot provide admin access to all users but need a way to provide script approval access to Non admin users? Any ways of accomplishing this?
At first this page about script-approval could be helpful.
Back to the main topic I thing the best way to achieve this is use Matrix based security Plugin - RunScripts option in Overall section.
Or You can always auto-approve" scripts with the Permissive Script Security Plugin. So it's depends on security policies in your organization.
I am setting up a Jenkins instance to run static-code-analysis for many projects. Each projects, on their own, create their code-analysis-jobs with their SCM and branches. I have the Role Strategy Plugin plugin installed but struck configuring the system with the below criteria.
The project leads should be able to signup the Jenkins and create/view/modify/run the jobs they only created. (Is it possible for this lead-role user to create user of developer role?)
The developers can view/build the jobs which they have privileges.
The project leads can assign the developers with jobs they can view/run.
How to do this, if at all possible? If not, how other ways you all do it considering the Jenkins to allow users signup, create/manage/run only their jobs (securing the jobs from other users)? (Also, the signed user should not be allowed to administer the Jenkins)
EDIT-1: I have an admin role (myself) user who has the all privileges to configure the system, but the admin to perform the role assignment of every user who signup.
The Role Strategy Plugin should suffice your request.
It even has regex pattern based setting where a user can only see certain projects.
I have been using this plugin extensively and its really helpful.
We're using Jenkins (and precisely Cloudbees) for couple years. Well, it works.
Not I have new use case when I would like to allow trigger build remotely (w/o user account in Cloudbees).
Looks like it's impossible (standard token trigger mechanism requires an account in Cloudbees).
The only one way that I see it to set-up instant message integration (e.g. Jabber) and trigger builds in chat. It's nice solution that I would like to have, but ... it doesn't work for me. No errors and no messages (I tried different jabber servers).
Because I have only one such weird user I don't want to install special software (like Jabber/IRC server) and wanna use existing (like Gtalk or similar).
Any thoughts will be welcome.

You can use the Build Token Root plugin to bypass authentication long enough to check the token.
In the long term it would be desirable for Jenkins to let users create non-user principals that would have their own API tokens and SSH keys (but no UI login) and a restricted subset of permissions, so you could freely create a one-off principal for a specific purpose such as triggering builds. The infrastructure for such a feature does not exist today, however.
I am after a better solution for security in Jenkins. After my play around this space, my current solution is to implement the 'Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy'. I was previously considering running Jenkins behind Apache and control security through Apache. But during my trial with matrix based security, I was able to assign full access to logged in users and block anonymous users from seeing anything on the dashboard except login-page.
Before I proceed with my beta servers, I would like to seek experts advice to understand what I am doing is correct ?or there is a better way to do this. At the moment I have around 30 users created in my system.
If matrix based solution is the best and easiest, I would like to know,
1) Is it possible to group users and assign access based on groups ? So that I don't have to give users on individual basis
2) I also saw a post about 'Role strategy plug-in', but I couldn't see that in my Jenkins. Not sure if this plug-in out of date and/or nomore supported
Thanks in advance.
I'm using the Role Strategy plugin with a LDPA directory and it works well.
You just have to install this plugin on your Jenkins server and to switch from "Matrix-based security" to "Role-Based Strategy".
Next, you will be able to define roles:
And assign them to users (or LDAP groups, if you have a LDAP directory):
