hi everyone! we're facing the problem that our Jenkins instance keeps forgetting user rights quite regularly. has someone faced this problem as well? it's like that: at some point suddenly people come up to my desk and tell me that they can't run/edit/delete/whatever their assigned jobs anymore. when I look into the rights assignment (we use the roles/rights plugin btw, but it also happened using the standard built in rights management) the rights of that user are still assigned. They just seem to become ignored. Deleting the rights for that particular user and reassigning helps. What botheres me is that it seems totally random when it happens. Also, using different casing with the login names (e.g. if we have a user John Doe we'd have the variants "jdoe" and "JDoe") randomly fixes the problem. sometimes we need to assign it to jdoe again, sometimes to JDoe to make it work. For login Jenkins seems to be case insensitive anyway to our knowledge. There's only one thing I *could* imagine it has something to do with: we're reusing also auto generated users (that is, from SCM checkouts) because we don't want to need our developers to remember another login name for our Jenkins instance than their regular domain login of our company. Maybe for some odd reason that can cause the rights to be forgotten when checkouts happen?
any help is highly appreciated. the overhead generated by having to fix the rights issues is growing and growing as more projects are put onto Jenkins. kind regards, Andreas Schilling CAE Processes & Data Management ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.
