hiding the slaves/build executor status from users.

[Amit Dar]

Hi,

we are trying to configure Jenkins for use in a secured environment (to be more specific, our company has a heavy compartmentalization between departments).

in order to use Jenkins, we have two options:

1. setup a master for each section of the company.

2. use one master, and apply a strong security/compartmentalization strategy.

in order to avoid a lot of maintenance, we are currently trying to apply the second approach (one master).

we have connected the server to the active directory, and started using project based matrix authorization.

this solved most of our problems, but one is left unattended.

no matter what we do, each user (including a user with the read only permission) can see all the attached slaves and build executor status. we found no plugin to "hide" this part from the screen, or at least decide which user can see which slaves.

I'm open to any suggestion at this point, please enlighten me :)

thanks.
