Jenkins Permissions Setup Guide

In Jenkins, managing permissions is crucial to protect the Jenkins instance from unauthorized access. To configure permissions management, you can follow the steps below:

1. Log in to the Jenkins instance and click on “Manage Jenkins” in the top right corner of the page.
2. Select “Configure Global Security” on the “Manage Jenkins” page.
3. On the “Configure Global Security” page, you can choose from different security options such as using Jenkins’ built-in user database or authenticating with LDAP.
4. If you opt to use the default Jenkins user database, you can configure users and permissions on the “Configure Global Security” page. In the “Authorization” section, you can choose different ways of managing permissions, such as Matrix-based security or Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy.
5. If you choose to authenticate using LDAP, you will need to configure the necessary information for the LDAP server and establish the method for permission management.
6. After setting up the permission management, you can configure different permissions for various users, such as admin rights, developer rights, and so on.
7. Simply click the save button to save the configuration.

After configuring the permission management through the above steps, you can protect the Jenkins instance and ensure that only authorized users can access and operate Jenkins.
