      The IRC plugin provides a IRC bot so that users in the channel can trigger actions in Hudson. This is a nice feature, but currently there is no way to restrict the usage of these commands to a specific group of users. So any user in the channel can trigger jobs, stop them, etc.

      It would be nice if the plugin allowed specifying nicknames which have access to use these commands. The bot could ignore the rest of requests. And ideally it should check if the user is identified to services.

          Reasonable request, but sounds a little bit like overkill to me. Next someone requests to allow some commands for some users and some other commands for some other users.
          What about a dedicated chatroom for privileged users? Would that suffice for you?

          Anyway, I wouldn't implement this anytime soon - mainly because I don't use the IRC plugin myself, so I don't have any motivation to.
          So, if you want this feature, the best way for you would be to create a patch.

          Yes, I think it's a reasonable approach.

          Fair enough, I'll see what I can do.

          Thanks!

          Please note that because of JENKINS-11606 you can disable commands for a chatroom altogether.
          Maybe that is already enough for your use case.

          Today I found there still have some problems.
          If we send "/msg irc-bot irc-bot: help" to ircbot, the ircbot will allow the command.
          The "Command prefix" setting doesn't work in these case.
