Adding to project based security, and where to store data?

[Michael Carter]

Two questions this morning.

Want to add my own options to the:

Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy area of the Global Security Screen.   Where do I find a clear example on how to do that or the documentation? Also, I want to store data with Jenkins that's not tied to a job/build.  What's the best way to go about it or just bounce out to some DB?   This is rolling in a few ideas, but one is system test data.  No point running the deploy if all the target servers are offline or have problems.   Basically want to offer a screen in the admin area where someone could look to see if anything in their path is offline.  Thanks, Michael

Managed to find my own answers.   So posting here for completeness for anyone searching.

Seems to add entries to the security area you just need these somewhere.

import hudson.security.Permission;

import hudson.security.PermissionGroup;

import hudson.security.PermissionScope;

import hudson.Extension;

import jenkins.model.Jenkins;

import org.jenkinsci.Symbol;

@Extension
@Symbol("myPermissions")
public class MyPermissions  {


    public static final PermissionGroup PERMISSION_GROUP =
            new PermissionGroup(MyPermissions.class,  
                                Messages._PermissionGroup_Title());


    public static final Permission MANUAL_SYNC_PERMISSION =
            new Permission(PERMISSION_GROUP,
                           "ManualSync",
                           Messages._PermissionManualSync_Description(),
                           Jenkins.ADMINISTER,
                           PermissionScope.JENKINS);


    public static final Permission UPLOAD_MAP_PERMISSION =
            new Permission(PERMISSION_GROUP,
                           "UploadMap",
                           Messages._PermissionUploadMap_Description(),
                           Jenkins.ADMINISTER,
                           PermissionScope.JENKINS);


}

As for storing arbitrary data, this is doing my trick:

https://plugins.jenkins.io/database-sqlite/

import org.jenkinsci.plugins.database.Database;
import org.jenkinsci.plugins.database.GlobalDatabaseConfiguration;
import org.jenkinsci.plugins.database.BasicDataSource2;
import javax.sql.DataSource;


import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.ResultSetMetaData;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.sql.SQLException;


...


  private GlobalDatabaseConfiguration globalDatabaseConfiguration;
  private Database database;
  private DataSource datasource;


...


      this.globalDatabaseConfiguration = GlobalDatabaseConfiguration.get();
      this.database   = this.globalDatabaseConfiguration.getDatabase();
      this.datasource = this.database.getDataSource();
      CreateTables();
