jenkins group while in job is not the same as in terminal

[Tzook Bar Noy]

I have installed jenkins on our dev server, and I added the user "jenkins" to some groups for example www-data.

now when I run this command on the terminal:

groups jenkins

I get this output

jenkins www-data

and that is ok, but in one of my jobs I created an ssh command that simply does

groups jenkins

and the result is

jenkins

as you can see the "www-data" group is missing, so I have some permissions errors.

Any ideas why this weird bug happens??

Have you restarted Jenkins since adding the group to the user?

Richard.

It's not a bug. Running processes don't magically become members of groups you add their owning user to. The user must relogin to become a member of the new group, which in your case means your Jenkins server needs to be restarted (as it logs in as the "jenkins" user).

HTH...

Did you mean to restart jenkins right?

did it.

I noticed some more info that when I run the command 

command:
cat /etc/group | grep jenkins
result:
www-data:x:33:tzook,jenkins

jenkins:x:115:

command:
groups jenkins
result:

jenkins : jenkins www-data web

command:

groups

result:
jenkins

it's like the "real" user jenkins has the groups, but thejenkins user that is currently running has no groups

Is the job running on a slave?

mmm no I think, it's a simple installation, didn't do anything fancy :/

Please be more specific what you're doing. How is SSH involved?

[Tzook Bar Noy]

sorry it is not ssh, it is a

"build step" with "execute shell"

inside it I have what I mentioned:

    cat /etc/group | grep jenkins

    groups jenkins

    groups

    whoami 

output:

     www-data:x:33:tzook,jenkins

  jenkins:x:115:

  jenkins : jenkins www-data web

    jenkins

    jenkins
