Jenkins is a self-contained, open source automation server which can be used to automate
all sorts of tasks related to building, testing, and delivering or deploying software.

Jenkins can be installed through native system packages, Docker, or even run standalone by

User will be created and displayed in users list.

4.2. CONFIGURING USERS

2. On the top right corner username is displayed, click on the down arrow a list of
options are displayed.

3. Click on configure
4. Here we can change the full name, password, get the API token and add a
description.
 4.3. CONFIGURING ROLES AND STRATEGIES

4.3.1. DOWNLOADING ROLE BASED AUTHORIZATION PLUGIN

1. Login to jenkins as admin
2. Click on manage jenkins
3. Scroll down to Manage Plugins,
4. Click on Available tab
5. Search for Role based Authorization plugin and click on Install
6. Once Installation is complete restart jenkins

4.3.2. MANAGING JENKINS-CONFIGURING GLOBAL SECURITY

1. Login to admin account
2. Go to manage jenkins
3. Click on Configure global security
4. Click on enable security
5. After installing Role based Authorization plugin it is displayed in Authorization section,
select it and click on save.

4.3.3. ASSIGNING ROLES

Go to manage Jenkins. Now we can see an option Manage and assign Roles. This is displayed
only after installation of Role based Authorization plugin.
Click on Manage Roles.
Initially only one role is displayed i.e. Admin
Here we have 3 sections:
1. Global Roles
2. Project Roles
3. Slave Roles
Global Roles provide access on a global level.
For example: An employee should have overall read access and overall view access.

To create a role Enter the name of the role in Role to add tab and click on add button

The role will be added to the global roles. We can give the overall read and view permissions.
Project Roles: We can create roles specific to the project.
For example Developer.

Dev.* means a person having a role of Developer should be able to access the projects starting
with Dev. He will not be able to access any other projects.

In the same way a Tester with pattern Test.*

Now we have to assign roles to users.

For example we have two users user1 and user2 .

To add assign roles to users go to manage jenkins->Manage and Assign Roles-> Assign Roles

In assign roles we have Global Roles, Item Roles and Node roles.
Now add User1 and User2 to global roles. Both of them are employees so we assign the role of
employee.

Coming to Item roles, add both user1 and User2 to Item roles.
User1 is developer so we assign role of developer.
User2 is tester so we assign role of tester.
And click on apply and then save.

Create two projects with the name Dev_Project and Test_Project.

Now login as User1 and check whether he can access only Dev_Project and login as User2 and
check whether he can access only Test_Project.
