Run jenkins jobs as different user or switch user during the execution

[Amit Chettri]

Hello,

I have a requirement where I need to switch user in between in the pipeline run

:

:

steps

      {

        script

        {

       

            sh """

              sudo su - testuser

              whoami

            """

    :

    : 

    :

    }

 }

but during the pipeline run user is not switch and its still the jenkins user

+ sudo su - testuser

+ whoami

jenkins

how can I run the job as a different user or switch user to testuser without making any change to $ sudo vim /etc/sysconfig/jenkins  

[iris Jasper Orschulko]

you could do something along the line of su testuser -c 'command to run as testuser'
