Plugin permissions not supported

XMLWordPrintable

      The matrix authorizer shows permissions added by plugins, however, the github authorization strategy doesn't seem to support plugin-provided permissions.

      In my case, I need to give users the 'Release' permission from the 'Release' plugin, and can't find a way to do that with the committer authorization strategy.

          If you make use of another authorization strategy (such as a matrix-based authorization strategy) then you can support it. GitHub organizations and teams are surfaced as groups in Jenkins.

          I think it would require a little bit of extra thinking in how we can support permissions from other plugins in the GitHub authorization strategy.

          I ran across this today and it took a bit of tracking to figure out what was going on...

          A user on a team cannot use the Pipeline "Replay" feature because of this issue.

          It's a pretty big usability issue.

          I don't actively develop this plugin. I mostly maintain pull requests and releases. I welcome proposals, pull requests, and other forms of contributions which would improve this feature and resolve this bug.
