Is there a way we can control which user can click "Build Now" in Jenkins? Basically we dont want all the users who are logged in Jenkins to trigger a build.
Also is this possible project-wise?
I am relatively new in configuring Jenkins, though I have used Jenkins more as an end user and not an admin, so would really appreciate any helpful inputs. I tried using this : https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Matrix-based+security and this https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Standard+Security+Setup, but for some reason its still allowing users to trigger a build.
You can also use RoleStrategyPlugin
This will be more helpful to manage large numbers of user using multiple projects.
The details to use and your doubt in the comment is addressed here
I am using Matrix Authorization Strategy Plugin, it offers matrix-based security authorization strategies, both global and per-project.

I'm trying to trigger a job from one Jenkins (A) on another one (B). I've installed 2 plugins:
Parameterized Remote Trigger
Build Token Root
My issue is, that I'm able to trigger build on Jenkins (B) using for example curl and token only, which means the Build Token Root plugin is working as expected, but Parameterized Remote Trigger seems to don't respect this.
I probably should mention that I've tried different auth options, Trust All certs, etc.
My Jenkins (A) config:
Logs are the same with and without Build Token Root support enabled.
Logs I'm getting:
I was able to get this working by allowing Anonymous users Overall Read and Job Read access. It appears this is necessary because the Parameterized Remote Trigger plugin attempts to call additional APIs apart from just the /build and /buildWithParameters and those calls are the ones that fail.
It makes sense that, in order to have the default blocking capability, you need to call additional APIs to poll, but even setting blockBuildUntilComplete : false did not fix the issue. Considering that Parameterized Remote Trigger plugin plainly says it "plays well" with the Build Token plugin in its documentation, it really is not an easy feat to make them work together.
In my opinion, using the two together isn't an ideal solution because of the necessity for allowing unauthenticated users to browse your jenkins instance via the ui - I suspect you could (although I haven't tried it) get an API Token for a user with only Overall Read and Job Read access instead of giving all Anonymous Users the rights, but this includes the overhead of managing a user and an API Token, which defeats our primary motivation to use the Build Token plugin in the first place.
We have a CI jenkins platform and we want to manage our deployments with an email confirmation. A user send a request to the deployment plan for starting. But in the first step, the plan send an email confirmation to an administrator. If the admin click the request link, deployment will be start, otherwise wont start.
Is there a way to do this with jenkins or any jenkins plugin?
yes there is a way to do that, honestly, more than one way to do that and you can choose by your preferneces. What I will suggest you is to consider the way explained in the issues of Jenkins https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-33793
though it have status Unresolved, but it looks like by my knowledge that it will work even right now , cause it is just an URL.
I want to create a Groovy script using Pipeline plugin in Jenkins handling the security for only some users can enter to the node.
This would be the example:
node('master') {
//code..... more code
}
node('production') {
//more code.....
}
I want to be able that only some users can run succesful the production node without using the input step that ask for only specific users/groups can approve it.
Is there a configuration option where I can configure the security of a specific Node about what users (or group) can execute scripts on it.
Note: I am using only Jenkisn 1.6 (not Cloudbees which it is with more complex security options)
Edited 04/20/2016 reflecting discussions in comment:
Update: Goal: Preventing unauthorized user from executing jobs on a selection of Jenkins node.
Update: The Job Restrictions Plugin referred by luka5z would be a promising fit for the goal, when using it in conjunction with Role Strategy Plugin.
Give Matrix-based security a try with this plugin Role Strategy Plugin. First, you need to set users/anonymous group global role to have a very minimal access. Then you can set slave roles that only allow users to use node name in staring in a pattern e.g QA_Slave*, and only a small group, say admin, have all permissions on all slaves, which implies Production.
Update: Role Strategy Plugin can prevent user from modifying policy applied to node, but would not protect node from running a job it was tagged to. [unauthorized slave assignment in job configuration] where Job Restrictions Plugin would independently apply restrictions on the node level, without go extreme and taking all job configuration access away.
I have a project based security enabled for my jobs. And based on user being admin / non-admin would like to show / hide certain build parameters.
Can anyone suggest an approach to tackle this requirements or are there any plugins for this?
Thanks!! Appreciate your help on this.
I don't think there is such a feature directly, but there is a workaround.
Configure "non-admin" job with only the parameters that non-admins should see.
Give that job security so that non-admins can build it.
Configure second "admin" job
Give that second job security so that only admins can build it.
In the Job Configuration of the second "admin" job, you need to:
Define all parameters (admin and non-admin)
Use Parameterized Trigger plugin ("Trigger/call builds on other projects" build action) to trigger "non-admin" job
Configure Add Parameters -> Current build parameters
That's it.
In the Job Configuration of the first "non-admin" job, you need to:
Define just non-admin parameters, making sure their names are exactly same as overlapping parameters from "admin" job
Configure the rest of the job as you normally would.
All parameters, even those that are passed from the triggering "admin" job are available as environment variables (even if they are not explicitly defined in "non-admin" job)
I want a block some jobs for a user level for example I have 3 jobs:
Job1 (All the register user can execute this).
Job2 (Only some user can execute this)
Job3 (All the register user can execute this).
Set the Global Security (http://<your_server>/configureSecurity/?) to the configuration that matches most jobs (enable Job Build) and then enable Project-based security for the other jobs (via the jon configuration) and set up as required by disabling Job Build.
Enter the user name in User/group to add: and then configure as required. In this case I've limited control to two users
You need to use Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy to achieve this. Hudson/Jenkin >> Manage Hudson >> Configre Security >> Authorization, and select Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy. Now in the configuration page of each job you will have an option Enable job-based security. You can give access permissions for the users here.
This works for me : Role Strategy Plugin
But you need understand it and its official documentation is poor, so go to :

The below link provides the clear guideline to grant/restrict the access to Jenkins Jobs.

Its very useful & am able to do the same.
