To create a new user in Jenkins, you'll need administrative privileges.
Follow these steps to add a user to your Jenkins instance:
1.Log into Jenkins:
Open a web browser and access your Jenkins instance by navigating to http://mongodb:8080
2.Access User Management:
Click on "Manage Jenkins" in the Jenkins dashboard.
3.Access User Management Page:
Click on "Manage Users" to access the User Management page.
4.Create a New User:
Click on the "Create User" link.
5.Fill in User Details:
Fill out the user details for the new user, including:
Username: Choose a unique username for the new user.
Password: Set a secure password for the user. You can click the "Generate" button to have Jenkins generate a random password.
Full Name: Enter the user's full name.
Email Address: Provide the user's email address.
Click the "Create User" button.
6.Configure User Permissions:
By default, new users are given read-only access to Jenkins.
To grant additional permissions, click on the user's name on the User Management page.
7.Configure User Permissions:
Scroll down to the "Add user to roles" section.
Check the roles that you want to assign to the user. For example, you can give them "Overall" or "Job" permissions based on your requirements.
8.Save User Configuration:
Click the "Save" button to save the user's configuration.
9.Verify User Creation:
The new user is now created and should have access to Jenkins based on the assigned permissions.
10.Notify the User:
Share the username and password with the new user.
It's advisable to have users change their password upon their first login for security reasons.
Keep in mind that Jenkins also supports various authentication methods, including LDAP, Active Directory, and others. If you have an existing user directory (e.g., LDAP or Active Directory), you can configure Jenkins to use that directory for user authentication and authorization, which can simplify user management.
Remember to manage user permissions carefully to ensure that users have access to the appropriate Jenkins resources and functions while maintaining security and access control.
