Re: Only one Administrator with Jenkins 1.580.1 server on Win 8.1
If I recall correctly (and I probably don't :) ) users get added based off of SCM users of the jobs you are running. If James Young had a SCM entry with jamesyoung, I wonder if Jenkins is matching the JamesYoung entry (possibly due to the Windows case insensitivity as I think users are stored @ the file system level?) and then rewriting it as the lower case version making it not work now for the authentication?

Re: Only one Administrator with Jenkins 1.580.1 server on Win 8.1
Update: The user that I re-added had Administrator capability for a while, but now that user no longer has Administrator rights. The check-boxes in Matrix Based Security have not been changed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Jenkins Users group.

Make sure the user name is in the correct, same case (e.g. lowercase, or first letter uppercase, etc.) everywhere. In the user DB/LDAP/..., when logging in, in the security configuration.

Only one Administrator with Jenkins 1.580.1 server on Win 8.1
Hello, I am experiencing very odd access behavior on two different Jenkins servers. Both servers are Win. 8.1 and both use Jenkins 1.580.1 Both servers use Jenkins own User Database and Matrix based security. I selected Administrator rights for 3 different users. Now, only one of those three users has Administrator privilege I have set up very similar configurations in the past, but have never been faced with this Thank you! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Jenkins Users group.
