In this blog, We will learn how to secure Jenkins. One can manage security levels in the Jenkins environment and project security through “Configure Global Security.” Securing Jenkins defines who is allowed to access/use the system.
Jenkins provides 5 types of authorization.
- Anyone can do anything– This is the least secure setup allowing users to perform any operation in the Jenkins server.
2. Legacy Mode– This authorization uses an existing project.
3. Logged-In users can do anything– Users who have logged in can do anything within this authorization setup.
4. Matrix-based security– It is the best practice among all the authorization options.
5. Project-based Matrix authorization strategy- This authorization option helps manage the user’s access to various tasks concerning the project.
