Downstream jobs: You have no permission to build...

[Jason LeMauk]

Hello Jenkins Community!

I currently have an upstream job (Backup) triggering a downstream job (BackupCleanup).  The trigger is set as a post-build action of build other projects (on the upstream job).

However, when I select the project to build in the post-build action, I receive a warning that “You have no permission to build…”. Please see below:

It should be noted that the upstream job is able to be run successfully which triggers a successful run of the downstream job. It seems like my user has the correct permissions based on the job run results. What could be causing this?

Thank you guys for any help!

The build log should explain that there's no build authentication. IOW, builds run with SYSTEM authorization and can trigger any downstream job (even if you can't).

Granted, this form validation doesn't make a lot of sense IIUC.
