I have configured Jenkins on centos 7.
Being administrator, I have created few users and gave them permissions to their projects like: build, read etc.
I have used a Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy. Its working but I'm facing the following problem:
If any user clicks on people information (button on left is dashboard) then any user can view all the other users ids, name etc. I want to block this from happening and I can't find a solution to this problem.
Can it be a configuration problem?
Here is one solution using the Role Strategy plugin.
I'm using this plugin for our Jenkins server and it's really useful to define permissions.
On my staging Jenkins, I've create 2 users:
A full admin
A viewer
I've created 2 roles with the plugin:
Next, I assign the roles to the relevant users:
The viewer role only have a global read access + build on the jobs.
If I open a session with the admin one, I can see all the people:
With the viewer user, I don't see anything:
UPDATE:
If you want to assign some permissions on a specific project, you can create project roles (in the Manage Roles section):
You can filter the projects with a regular expression:
job(.*)postcommit
Next, in the Assign Roles section, you just have to assign the relevant project role to the relevant user.
I hope it helps :)

Current State: I have implemented project based roles strategy (also called the item roles) and have the appropriate project folder level regex etc set up. And I have verified the regexes and other permissions work fine for most logged in users, except the below scenarios I am running into.
Plugin Version: 3.2
Jenkins Version: 2.263.4
Jenkins Authentication Provider: LDAP Connecting to Active Directory
Example regex(es): for project role dev = ^ABC\-DEF\/DEV\/.*
Issue: Certain users are only having issues while going through the project role based authorization plugin where they are not able to see the option to run builds or job configurations. While the same configurations work for a couple of other user who have the same permissions.
Example:
Users - adm-XXXX and adm-YYYY and a few more all starting with the prefix of adm- are not able to get the roles for the configure and run builds on the jobs based on the above regex.
While Users - adm-zzzz and others are able to get the same roles using the same permission matrix.
The issue is very inconsistent as some days it would work, and even the same configurations when I tested in another Jenkins instance it worked for the user - adm-XXXX so I am at a loss on how to debug why it does not work for a few users consistently. I can understand if it is a configuration issue it should not work for all users having the same role.
Are there any tips on enabling some extra debug to troubleshoot this since there are literally a couple of loggers in the code of the plugin.
Appreciate the help here from any one knowledegable.
I have same issue, where associating an LDAP/AD user to a local global role or item/project role with build and configure permissions enabled does not enable this permission in the project itself. The option to build and configure is not available.
The only way I got around this was to add the users into AD groups and associating the AD Group to a role with required permissions.
Enabling the exact same permissions on the AD group role that I had on the local role, enabled the build and configure option in the projects.
I am not sure if this is a bug, an AD integration issue that you cannot mix/match local and AD roles or I am missing some option or if anyone has managed to get around this anomoly - but this workaournd seems to overcome this.
I am trying to assign roles to users in Jenkins using the 'role based strategy' plugin. When I do that, I am getting a red text that says "No type prefix:" in front of every user that I am assigning a role to. Please advise how this can be removed.:
I am very new to Jenkins so any suggestions will be very helpful.

use "USER:" for user and "GROUP:" for group .. eg "USER:ABC" ..this changed with the recent plug in update ..
In order to resolve we have to add twice.
In your example
Under Global roles
Enter only jenkins and click on Add and click on admin checkbox
Enter USER:jenkins and click on Add and click on admin checkbox
Apply
Save
Similarly for all other users which needs admin role can be mapped.
The same approach can be used under Item and Node roles if it is configured
By doing this we would still see > No type prefix: jenkins however role based permission would work in desired way.
If you are locked out then use following link to get access again-
https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/security/access-control/disable/
and follow above steps.
Just update plugins:
Matrix Authorization Strategy Plugin
Role-based Authorization Strategy
Using Jenkins 2.7.x I am trying to configure the Role based Strategy Plugin, but facing some issue.
Scenario is, there are 2 teams products I & P each can have Dev, Admin & Lead.
So created 6 LDAP (project) roles & one CI_Admin global role.
and assigned these roles to LDAP user group
Now when the admin logs in he gets error
What am i missing ?
I can see that in global roles in (Fig 3 Highlighted in the below image) read permission is missing. so to login to Jenkins user/group should have read permission.
I use jenkins project-based matrix security.
I have this folder structure (jenkins folders):
folder1/subfolder1A/jobA1
folder1/subfolder1A/jobA2
folder1/subfolder1B/jobB
folder2/subfolder2C/jobC
I can't seem to find a way to give access to a particular user only to subfolder1A or to jobA2 etc.
I tried almost every combination of permissions, the only one that works requires me to add the job readpermission to the user for the root folder1. The permission is inherited and they can now see everything in subfolder1A and subfolder1B etc.
If i don't do that, they see nothing. But If I do that, they have access to all subfolders of folder1 and all their jobs (with read permissions).
Do you know any configuration that would allow a user to access only subfolderA or jobA1 ?
I use the latest jenkins 2.x (2.13 at the time of writing, I'll update to 2.14 possibly today)
I know its too late to answer your question however this might be helpful for others.
You can give access up to one level deep to sub folders using Role Based Access Control plugin. In your case, assume if you want to grant an access to subfolder1A and restrict all other sub-folders then you can create Project Role and use following pattern:
folder1(/subfolder1A.*)?
Suppose, you want to provide access to both subfolder1A and subfolder1B and restrict other sub-folders, then use following pattern:
folder1(/subfolder1A.*|/subfolder1B.*)?
This will allow you to control nested folders up to one level.
Hope this will be useful.
I don't know why "logged in users can do anything" means Jenkins will happily allow non-authenticated users to view project details and access artifacts... Regardless, I need to know how to get Jenkins to allow logged in users to to anything AND hide EVERYTHING for users who AREN'T logged in. Help please?
This can be done with the Role-Strategy plugin.
Install the plugin, add a new group called "Anonymous" and uncheck everything. Then you want to add another group called "authenticated" and check everything. Add your existing users to this group. Jenkins will immediately prompt you for a login this way.
You can use https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Role+Strategy+Plugin
it allows to specify to define roles and assign roles to users, users with no roles won't even see the jenkins ui.
Answer to an old question but I came searching here as I am trying to auto spin up a Jenkins instance on Docker and found the same issue.
Good chance this option wasn't available when the question was asked. As of this moment (v2.222.3 but not sure how far back), it turns out you can do this without installing any additional plugins.
Manually
Navigate to Global Security (Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Global Security)
Update the Authorization section to "Logged-in users can do anything".
UNCHECK Allow anonymous read access
Any unauthenticated access will redirect to login now.
I would note that if you setup Jenkins through the setup wizard then anonymous read access is disabled by default. If you want this behaviour AND want to configure jenkins automatically, read on.
Automated with Docker
My situation is that I wanted to check out my repo, run my compose file and have all my config/users/plugins etc ready to go. Great post here with more detail if interested.
In a nutshell:
Dockerfile
FROM jenkins/jenkins:lts-alpine
# Disable setup wizard since security.groovy creates our user
ENV JAVA_OPTS="-Djenkins.install.runSetupWizard=false"
COPY security.groovy /usr/share/jenkins/ref/init.groovy.d/security.groovy
security.groovy
#!groovy
import jenkins.model.*
import hudson.security.*
def instance = Jenkins.getInstance()
// Create Admin User
def hudsonRealm = new HudsonPrivateSecurityRealm(false)
hudsonRealm.createAccount("admin", "admin") // Dont do this. This is bad
instance.setSecurityRealm(hudsonRealm)
// Set Auth to Full Control Once Logged In and prevent read-only access
def strategy = new FullControlOnceLoggedInAuthorizationStrategy()
strategy.setAllowAnonymousRead(false)
instance.setAuthorizationStrategy(strategy)
instance.save()
In particular, strategy.setAllowAnonymousRead(false) is what's needed
Additionally, if you use GitHub as your version control system -- you can use the GitHub OAuth plugin. Once the "Anonymous" reach your page, they will be redirected to GitHub automatically.
