Jesse, Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. Well, we can do this in a much simpler way. This is how we can do this.
A checkbox should be present on the Create Job page of Jenkins saying "Execute\Build as another User" OR "Execute\Build Job using logged on user credential". Then if we create a Job with this checkbox checked, and when we build the Job by clicking on the Build button, it should do either of the two,
1. If we implement "Execute\Build as another User" option, then it should simply prompt for a popup\dialog asking to provide user credential. Then the job should execute all the Build Steps, using the credential passed. (i.e., If I pass my credential vipa...@nvidia.com, password123, then it should use this credential to execute all the MSBuild command that we specified in the Build step of the Jenkin Job.).
2. If we implement "Execute\Build Job using logged on user credential" option, then its little tricky and it should execute the Job (Build Steps commands) using the credential of the logged on user, without asking for any dialog to provide user credential, as it should use logged on user credential.
Option 1 seems very easy and very simple to implement. While option 2 seems little tricky and require integration with Credential Plugin.
I am glad that you liked the idea and thought its useful. If possible then can we get option 1 implemented. In .Net I know how to implement impersonation (http://platinumdogs.me/2008/10/30/net-c-impersonation-with-network-credentials/) but not sure about how can we do this in Java (found this article but not sure https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/branches/2.0/jackrabbit-core/src/test/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/api/security/user/ImpersonationTest.java ).
