Role Strategy Plugin - how to apply multiple patterns in project roles

[Jan Seidel]

Hi folks,

I am setting up Role Strategy as too many people can peek and poke in too many jobs and mess around.
We have many build jobs which leads me to a problem when assigning Roles in Projects roles.

I need multiple patterns for a single role if possible.
e.g. the role MIB admin must access all jobs starting with (?i)RB_MIB.*, (?i)HMI_MIB.* and (?i)JXE_MIB.* but not (?i)MB_GUIDE_MIB.* nor any other job that is outside of the scope of this project.
So simply taking (?i).*MIB.* won't work.

Is it possible to use multiple patterns for one role and if yes, how?

Cheers
Jan

There's no way to define multiple patterns for a given role (which would enable different permissions depending on the job for the same role).

But the pattern '(RB|HMI|JXE)_MIB.*' should do it. Maybe look up the java.util.regex.Pattern docs?

You can do with piping I guess

(?i)RB_MIB.* | (?i)HMI_MIB.*  | (?i)JXE_MIB.*

Maneesh thanks for the reference.

the following worked for me

"(?)joba||(?)jobb||(?)jobc||(?)jobn"

where job{a..n} are the job names.

I'm replying because this thread is a very high result on google searches.

You can enter a string such as this into the "Pattern" field to allow a single role to apply multiple prefix patterns

((prefix1|prefix2|prefix3).*)

Or if you want to match on the middle of a job name you can do something like this

(.*(middle1|middle2|middle3).*)
