[JENKINS-59981] Role strategy plugin - nested groups issue - Jenkins Jira

Hello,

I've got a problem with Jenkins and role strategy plugin. I found similar issue mentioned here: https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Role+Strategy+Plugin on 02.12.2014, but so far it seems that it still doesn't work properly.

Jenkins 2.176.3
Role-based Authorization Strategy 2.15
FreeIPA, version: 4.5.4

And I will just copy the issue because it's exactly the same in my scenario:

The "configuration to be expect" should be:

(Role) "Role 1" -> assigned to ->(Group) Group A ->that contains ->(Group) Group B ->that contains -> users.

The workaround that we have implemented is:

(Role) "Role 1" ->assigned to ->(Group) Group B ->that contains -> users.

The issue seems due to nested group on freeIPA that doesn't works correctly with the plugin.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thank in advance for your help.

Best Regards.

Karol
