Jenkins provides Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) as a way to manage user permissions and access control more granularly. RBAC allows you to define roles with specific permissions and assign those roles to users and groups. Here's how you can set up Role-Based Access Control in Jenkins:
1. Install the Role-based Authorization Strategy Plugin:
To enable RBAC in Jenkins, you need to install the "Role-based Authorization Strategy" plugin. You can install it via the Jenkins plugin manager:
b. Click on "Manage Jenkins."
c. Select "Manage Plugins."
d. Navigate to the "Available" tab.
e. In the "Filter" box, type "Role-based Authorization Strategy."
f. Check the checkbox next to the "Role-based Authorization Strategy" plugin.
g. Click "Install without restart."
2. Configure Global Roles:
a. After installing the plugin, go to "Manage Jenkins" > "Configure Global Security."
b. Under the "Access Control" section, select "Role-Based Strategy."
In my case already installed. But you can follow the same step as per snippet.
3.Define Global Roles:
*.Define the roles you want to create, giving them meaningful names (e.g., Administrator, Developer, QA, etc.).
*.For each role, specify the desired permissions by checking the corresponding checkboxes. Jenkins provides a list of common permissions you can assign.
*.Click "Add" to save the global roles.
4.Assign Users or Groups to Roles:
*.After defining global roles, you can assign users or groups to these roles.
*.Scroll down to the "Role to User/Group Mapping" section.
*.Select a role from the "Role" dropdown.
*.Enter the usernames or group names (if using groups) in the "User/Group Names" field. You can separate multiple names with commas.
*.Click "Add" to map users or groups to the role.
*.Repeat this step for each role and its corresponding users or groups.
5. Apply and Save:
*.Click the "Apply" button to apply the RBAC configuration.
*.Then, click the "Save" button to save the changes.
6. Test Permissions:
Log in as different users and verify that they have the expected permissions based on the roles you assigned to them.
7. Fine-Tune Role Permissions:
You can further refine role permissions by modifying the roles and their associated permissions as needed.
Role-Based Access Control allows you to manage access control in a more flexible and organized manner, making it easier to control who can do what within your Jenkins instance. It's especially useful in larger Jenkins installations with many users and complex access requirements.
