Using unix groups looks like the correct approach here. I gave a try. It woks fine. Thanks.
Now, since I maintain a centralized jenkins instance that are used by different groups and want to run the test cases as application user(u2, u3, ...) rather than jenkins runtime user (u1). Is there a way I can invoke the maven and ant targets as a different user (u2) than my jenkins run user(u1). In case of shell scripts I can do someting like sudo -u u2 run_script.sh. But I am not able to figure out how to do this for maven and ant steps.
