Problem
In jenkins, I cannot find the job creator for a specific task.
Tries
I tried looking in the changes log, do not display creation. Looked up in the user profiles and there is no such properties. Been fooling aroung for a while now trying to find it. Also most research on google with keyword "creator" will fetch results about how to create a job or other questions of people who searched things relative to this topic.
The JobConfigHistory Plugin is ought to display a column User. And so does it in my Jenkins (v1.609.1) when I select a job's Job Config History at the bottom of the sidebar menu immediately after creating a job.
(Though I agree: There's no Created there, just Changed. But, changing from non-existence to existence is a change, isn't it? ;-)

Currently, Jenkins add as a user any known user of Jenkins plus any user mentioned in a commit message.
This effectively means that if you are managing several projects in Jenkins instance and each project with tenths of developers then it is really hard to maintain.
Another side effect is that JENKINS_HOME/users are populated with one xml for each of these users, so Jenkins becomes somehow unmanageable. Not the end of the world, that's true, but at the same time you start seeing users from outside of team/organization.
So, is there any way to disable this behaviour?
Thak you so much.
We have 'try' build jobs that developers can initiate with parameterized variables to point to a particular branch for pulling the code and trial running the build in jenkins. Is there a way I can customize a custom personal view showing only the builds that I have started?
The custom way
I think there's a way to customize a personal view by coding / modifying your Jenkins installation, jan-molak worked on that feature here.
You can check the commits and maybe implement something by your own, especially this and this.
The plugin
Take a look on View Job Filter If you configure it, there are options which seems to acomplish what you want:
Logged-in User Relevance Filter: This adds/removes jobs based on their
relevance to the logged in user. For example: matching jobs that were
started by the user, or where the user committed changes to the source
code of the job; matching jobs with a name that contains the user’s
name or login id.
In order to prove that a team is not seeing another team jobs or folders I need to come up with a measurable solution that validate that.How can I test that each team member don't see each other jobs? Because using the UI to see and comparing with my eyes becomes really difficult with multiple of groups or users for instance.
I am using Jenkins Project-based matrix plugin and latest Jenkins.
The best way to do this is by creating a test user. In case you are using AD or Jenkins own user database, try assigning the same permissions to what you have given for team. This way you will know it for sure.
If there are any such security issues chances, Jenkins will raise a notification highlighting the security issue with that of plugin. Hope this solves the issue.
I am using the Jenkins Job DSL Plugin to create template jobs.
There is a problem when two or more users are modifying the same template job (or any other job) simultaneously. The configuration of the last user to save or apply the modifications are registered and the modifications of the other user are removed because the two users were working on the same configuration version.
For example: Recently, I had to add a user to the global authorization matrix in a template job. I did that and i saved and build it. However, another user was modifying the same template job all day and he saved it at the end of the day and my changes were removed.
Is there a way to avoid this simultaneous job modifications by locking the configuration of a job for other users when that user is currently updating it?
Not currently available in core.

I am the SharePoint administrator for a company. Usually I can find how to fix problems rather easily but this time I am stumped. I have two problems. One of them is there is a person who has a MySite but when you use the people search she does not show up. The second problem is there is another whose job does not show correctly and when you search by job it doesn't show correctly. Its missing one word in the job title. To update profiles we use a data base that stores there information and sends it to a intermediate database when a specific job is run. We use AD groups to determine who gets a MySite.
