help Jenkins Role-based Authorization Strategy Plugin FAQ

What does the Jenkins Role-Based Authorization Strategy Plugin do?

The plugin provides role-based access control (RBAC) for Jenkins, allowing administrators to assign fine-grained permissions to users and groups based on defined roles. It enables control over who can view, configure, build, or manage specific Jenkins jobs and system resources.

Can the Role Strategy Plugin use LDAP or Active Directory groups?

Yes, when combined with Jenkins authentication plugins like the Active Directory Plugin or LDAP Plugin, the Role Strategy Plugin can map permissions to existing directory groups. This allows organizations to manage Jenkins access through their existing identity infrastructure rather than maintaining separate Jenkins user lists.

How do you configure roles in the Jenkins Role-Based Authorization Strategy Plugin?

Roles are configured through the Jenkins global security settings under the "Manage and Assign Roles" interface, where administrators define global roles, project roles matched by regular expressions to job names, and agent roles. Each role is assigned specific permissions from Jenkins's built-in permission matrix, such as read, build, configure, or administer.

Is the Jenkins Role-Based Authorization Strategy Plugin free?

Yes, the plugin is open source and freely available through the Jenkins plugin update center, consistent with Jenkins's own open-source model. It is maintained by community contributors under the Jenkins project governance.
