As you can see by the above: "Caught exception communicating with perforce. Access for user 'com.tek42.perforce.PerforceException: Access for user '"



Use Case:

If a user wishes to use exactly one user for all Jobs that use Perforce for SCM, he could enter this user in the Global Properties and then change the credentials user to poll Perforce at any time across all Jobs.
