How to limit user rights on jenkins?

Question

So, I can add users to Jenkins freely. However, it seems that for some reason I cannot restrict permissions for these users.

Currently, any added user can see any Jenkins work and run ANY of these tasks / tasks.

I could not find any documentation or anything on the Managers or Credentials tab in Jenkins to limit certain tasks to specific users.

is it even possible?

Answer 1

Sure. Maybe.

Install this plugin - Matrix Authorization Strategy Plugin

Manage Jenkins → Configure Global Security → Enable “Project-Based Authorization Strategy”

Now, by default, the administrator will have access to all tasks.

If you want someone to have access to a specific task, go to the task details page and enable "Enable project-based protection." Add a user and provide appropriate access.

All other users can view tasks for which they have been granted access.
