Help please - Admin privilege issue with Jenkins on Windows

[Shajimon Paremmal]

Hi, 

I'm new to Jenkins and am trying to configure Jenkins on Windows to learn the basics.

I have added a user and given **all permissions** to him, as described in the documentation. 

When I restart the service and log in again with that username, the system does not allow configure privileges (doesn't allow even restart privilege) saying that the user does not have privileges or permissions.

How can I resolve this? Any help would be appreciated.

The config.xml says that the user has all permissions. Please see the relevant section below;

<authorizationStrategy class="hudson.security.GlobalMatrixAuthorizationStrategy">

    <permission>com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.CredentialsProvider.Create:Test</permission>

    <permission>com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.CredentialsProvider.Delete:Test</permission>

    <permission>com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.CredentialsProvider.ManageDomains:Test</permission>

    <permission>com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.CredentialsProvider.Update:Test</permission>

    <permission>com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.CredentialsProvider.View:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Computer.Build:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Computer.Configure:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Computer.Connect:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Computer.Create:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Computer.Delete:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Computer.Disconnect:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Hudson.Administer:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Hudson.ConfigureUpdateCenter:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Hudson.Read:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Hudson.Read:anonymous</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Hudson.RunScripts:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Hudson.UploadPlugins:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Item.Build:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Item.Cancel:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Item.Configure:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Item.Create:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Item.Delete:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Item.Discover:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Item.Read:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Item.Workspace:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Run.Delete:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.Run.Update:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.View.Configure:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.View.Create:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.View.Delete:Test</permission>

    <permission>hudson.model.View.Read:Test</permission>

  </authorizationStrategy>

Thanks,

Shaji

Is it actually the same user name? It may be case-sensitive. If you use e.g. Active Directory, you'll be able to log in any case combination, but permissions may only be granted to the exact name configured in Jenkins.

Thanks for the reply, Daniel.

It is the same user name and I used it exactly as I gave it.

I even tried reinstalling Jenkins several times but the problem persists.

Hi, anyone has a clue about what could be causing the issue and what would be the solution?

[Shaji]

even the system restart doesn't work. What could be going wrong?

In the new Jnkins version, I can't see the page for assigning admin privileges to the user.

Are you facing this with the latest jenkins version 1.622 ?

I am experiencing the same here

After restart of jenkins server, the access permissions set for a user seems to getting revoked.

Not sure whats wrong 

[Musaffir Lp]

Hey,

Is your user id contains camel case letters  .... i.e both capital and small letters ..some thing like - Userid

instead of it use only small letters user id ....some thing like --  userid

this will resolve your problem of permission getting revoked after a jenkins restart...
