Topic #: 2

[All CJE Questions]

You need to grant permissions, via matrix-based security, to run a specific command in a Jenkins pipeline. The project parameters will not allow you to create a specific user to run this task, and you have no relevant groups. Which of the following is an option?

AEither creating a group or reassigning the user will work.

BCreate a group, add an existing user to the task, and grant permissions to that group

CSet permissions in Jenkins to allow anonymous users to run the command

DChange the workflow to require an existing user to run the task, and assign permissions to that user.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

You can set permissions for anonymous users with matrix-based security. Since this requires the least impact on existing workflows, it's the best solution.

Hmm, I wonder if we could just bribe the Jenkins admin to create a new user for us. That would be a lot easier than all this security nonsense.

That's a good point, Winifred. Option D does provide more control over who can run the command. It's important to consider security implications when setting up permissions in Jenkins.

Option A? Really? That's like saying 'I can either fix the flat tire or just get a new car.' Not very helpful.

I disagree, I believe option D is the way to go. Requiring an existing user to run the task ensures accountability and assigning permissions directly to that user is more straightforward.

Option D could work, but it might be a hassle to have to assign permissions to a specific user every time. Option B is probably the cleanest solution.

Creating a group and adding an existing user seems like the most efficient way to handle this.

I agree with Anastacia. Option B is the way to go here. Trying to use an anonymous user (Option C) sounds risky from a security standpoint.

Option B seems like the most straightforward solution. Creating a group and adding an existing user to it makes sense when you can't create a new user.
