Hey amidar,

What is the expected behavior that you would like to see? Perhaps you could describe the ideal situation?

In order to actually create a job, a user will need more privileges than Job/Build (Job/Configure). Job/Build will just let users kick off a build. If you're trying to set up an org you might take a look at the [Job DSL Plugin|https://plugins.jenkins.io/job-dsl/].

Hope that helps.

Hi justinharringa,

the expected behavior I would like to see is the ability to create the job when a user has all the permissions available - locally (meaning, at the folder level).

If you take a look at the images I added to the issue, you see that the user (named devops6723) has all the available permissions at the folder level, but is unable to create a job since the plugin is reporting the usre is missing the Job/Build permission.

once I give that user the Job/Build permission at the global level, he is able to create the job.

IMHO, the user should be able to manually create a job  (any kind of job...) inside a folder if he has all the available permission on that folder.

amidar - are you trying to create these under one of the multi-branch folders or are you creating a regular folder and then trying to put jobs in it? If this is a regular folder and you can't put any kind of job into it, it seems like this may be an issue with how the Folders plugin or a plugin it uses would resolve permissions. 

Hope you are well.

justinharringa, I just updated the issue header from "create" to "configure".

the multibranch pipeline job (or should I actually say - folder) is actually created, but the user is unable to configure it properly (the image I attached shows the problem. please notice that it is only relevant to multi branch pipeline line jobs with gitlab project as source.

meanwhile, we updated jenkins to 2.222.4, no change here - same behaviour.

I have just reconstructed this error on my laptop, at home, using latest docker image. 

attached are all the images and the plugins list I have installed (most important are the folders plugin, project matrix plugin, gitlab branch source and multibranch pipeline plugins.

I have a user called admin, which has the admin permission, and another user, called "user" with overall/read permission.

I created a folder called "some_folder" and granted the user called user all available permissions.

I defined a gitlab server (pointing to the real gitlab server, but that doesn't matter, all that matters is that at least one server will be defined).

when the user called "user" is trying to create a multibranch pipeline with gitlab project as the branch source, the problem appears.

please let me know if you still need more information. jenkins-plugins-installed.txt

while trying to create the multibranch pipeline, the following message appeared in the log console:

o.e.j.s.h.ContextHandler$Context#log: While serving http://localhost:8080/job/some_folder/job/multibranch_pipeline/descriptorByName/io.jenkins.plugins.gitlabbranchsource.GitLabSCMSource/fillProjectPathItems: hudson.security.AccessDeniedException2: user is missing the Job/Build permission

surenpi, please take a look at this issue, it includes simple reconstruction instructions, and is causing us a lot of pain...

Hi there,

Same problem for us. Any solution before fix ? I can't "open bar" for all users just for that..........

Hi,

Same problem. Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks.

Hi,

i tied to fix this issue. But i don't know somebody who can review my PR. 

amidar, of course

link PR-156

And installable version: gitlab-branch-source.hpi

mymarche, your fix is working as expected!

please file the PR with the plugin maintainer ASAP.

your effort is greatly appreciated!

P.S. I didn't check ALL the plugin capabilities, so I guess anyone who's willing to add more tests is welcome.

surenpi, is there a way to speed up handling of this issue?

Hi,

We tried the PR on our environment too. The bug is no more present.

Our security have to check the source code. But we hope the PR will be merged and a new version delivered.
