Hi Gabor,
there's currently no way to let the plugin impersonate you - i.e. the
user who is issueing a command via Jabber - in Jenkins. I wonder if
there is a theoretical way to do this without compromising security in
some way.
So yes, commands are issued as either the anonymous user or - if you
have configured so in the plugin's options - as a given Jenkins user. In
the latter case it uses the permissions granted to the user.
Hope this answers your question.
cheers

Hi,
This maybe a newbie question but I do not understand well what Jabber
plugin does with my Jenkins server.
So, I currently using "Matrix-based security" in my jenkins instance.
But Jabber plugin does not impersonate me correctly even if I filled my
Jabber address in my profile. Since the impersonation not used Jabber
plugin seems like do its work as anonymous user. I mean if I instruct
bot via Jabber channel to do something, the bot does not execute this
task as me, but as an anonymous user. However, this server is available
on the internet, and I would not allow anonymous user to do _anything_
on my CI server except view login page :-).
So, the question is: is there a way to tell Jabber plugin to recognize
me over jabber and do tasks as me not as anonymous/unknown user? Or,
anyway, how this plugin works? I am not understand well Jenkins'
internal architecture, so I should not dig into the source of plugin too
deep.
Thanks for replies.
Regards,
