Using a LaunchAgent introduces a security vulnerability (automatically logged in user at console) on the Mac running the LaunchAgent, so any user installing that should explicitly do so.

@cowwoc - Installing Jenkins for all users places the Jenkins software in a more controlled space than a User's home directory, where hostile actors are less likely to be able to maliciously modify the Jenkins software to do something bad (provided the user running the LaunchAgent is not a system administrator). Generally you should always prefer to install software for all users, even if only one user will ever use it.
