The matrix-auth plugin only supports user names. It would be an useful improvement to support environment variables like ${BUILD_USER_ID}, to automatically assign permissions to the user who started the build, or more specifically to enter the variable in the configuration of a jobgenerator and replace it with the username of the user who started the jobgenerator in the configuration of the generated jobs.

Does not make sense as written. If a job is being generated by some tool, then that tool should include any job-specific permissions in the config.xml, such as granting build permission to the user who initiated the generation. The matrix-auth plugin need not be modified.
