Question

User access in Jenkins, How can I give someone access to only see jobs.

I want to setup a admin and everyone else can only see jobs. can someone please tell me how to do this

Answer 1

The Jenkins Wiki has a good explanation of how this is done: Standard Security Setup.

Essentially you do this:

• Go to Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Configure Global Security.
• Check "Enable security".
• Set "Jenkins own user database" as security realm.
• Check "Allow users to sign up"
• Choose "Matrix based security"
• Check "Overall read" on Anonymous.
• Add your admin account in the matrix, check every box.
• Save configuration and sign up with the admin username to set a password.

Answer 2

Go to "Manage Jenkins" -> "Configure System" and under "Authorization" choose "Matrix-based security". You can then configure exactly what each user should be able to do.
