Need option to set the primary group of the user for all clearcase operations (newgrp)

      We have a single user that has access to all the clearcase vobs. However access to each of the vobs is restricted by the user's primary group. We have several groups. We currently alter this by using the newgrp command.

      Can Jenkins enable this option too?

      Thanks

          This is non-trivial, since newgrp actually executes a new shell and new group is set only within this shell. Since Jenkins is not talking to a shell but rather executes processes directly this is not possible without some major logic in command launcher. I'm not saying it's not possible, but it's definitely not a one-liner.

          Maybe possible through a BuildWrapper implementation, wrapping Launcher within a sg call. In any case, this is not within the Clearcase plugin scope.
