How to remove a user from Jenkins

Question

I have many users in Jenkins that have automatically come from SVN. One of our developers left the project and I removed him from the SVN. However, his contacts are not removed from Jenkins and I cannot find a place in Jenkins where I could remove users from. Any ideas on how to remove users from Jenkins?

Answer 1

I couldn't find the delete option. I went here and found a relevant but unhelpful answer. So I just tried:

http://<jenkins.url>/user/<username>/delete 

I got redirected to an existing page \o/ There was a button asking to confirm the deletion. I clicked and the user was removed.

Hope this helps

PS: I just found how to do it right: Go to "Manage Jenkins" > "Manage Users" and click the delete button on the same row (far right) of the user you want to delete

Answer 2

I believe you need to remove or replace the user from, all the times they exist, in the build.xml file(s) which are under the jobs directory then the name of the job and the builds directory.
