Job DSL only provides configuration syntax for existing options. Try to configure your folders manually and then port the configuration to Job DSL. If the option is not available, open a feature request for the appropriate plugin.

Hi, daspilker

Yes, I know that Job DSL only provides syntax for existing options. And the problem is that Job DSL doesn't provide syntax for Project-based Authorization Matrix during the folder creation, I CAN do it manually. The original plugin allows me to do it. But I cannot do it with Job DSL Plugin. There is no option, there is no syntax for it. And this is the future request (type: improvement). I'm not sure why you have closed this request and I don't understand your answer. 

Try to configure your folders manually and then port the configuration to Job DSL

Can't do that, Job DSL Plugin doesn't provide valid syntax. But I can configure my folders manually. Job DSL API doesn't have proper syntax, and I cannot use syntax from job configuration (syntax errors).

Post an example of the relevant parts of the config.xml that can't be generated with Job DSL.

Sure, here you are:

<description>Test jobs</description>
<displayName>Testing</displayName>
<properties>
<com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.properties.AuthorizationMatrixProperty>
<inheritanceStrategy class="org.jenkinsci.plugins.matrixauth.inheritance.InheritGlobalStrategy"/>
<permission>hudson.model.Item.Read:bob.fortesting</permission>
</com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.properties.AuthorizationMatrixProperty>
<org.jenkinsci.plugins.pipeline.modeldefinition.config.FolderConfig plugin="pipeline-model-definition@1.2.7">
<dockerLabel></dockerLabel>
<registry plugin="docker-commons@1.11"/>
</org.jenkinsci.plugins.pipeline.modeldefinition.config.FolderConfig>
</properties>

As you can see this is a folder, and the most important here is this line:

<inheritanceStrategy class="org.jenkinsci.plugins.matrixauth.inheritance.InheritGlobalStrategy"/>

I cannot find a valid syntax for Inheritance.

In the Job DSL API Viewer, there is only "authorization" function, but it doesn't allow to manage the inheritance. Also, there are no "properties" for this. The job has something like this:

properties {
  authorizationMatrix {
    permissions(Iterable<String> value)
    inheritanceStrategy {
      ingeritingGlobal()
    }
  }
}

but it doesn't work with the folder.

Hope it will be helpful. If you need more information, I'll try to provide them as soon as possible.

Maybe there is an option to do what I want, but then there is a lack of documentation.

Ah, unfortunately the Automatically Generated DSL does not work for com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.properties.AuthorizationMatrixProperty because the class does not declare a DataBoundConstructor.

But you can use a Configure Block to add the necessary config options:

folder('example') {
    configure {
        it / 'properties' / 'com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.properties.AuthorizationMatrixProperty' {
            inheritanceStrategy(class: 'org.jenkinsci.plugins.matrixauth.inheritance.InheritGlobalStrategy')
            permission('hudson.model.Item.Read:bob.fortesting')
        }
    }
}
