Adam Guja commented on JENKINS-4905: ------------------------------------ bumping, because it's a very good idea I'm looking for > Auto-generate access permissions for auto-created users. > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JENKINS-4905 > URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-4905 > Project: Jenkins > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: security > Affects Versions: current > Environment: Platform: All, OS: All > Reporter: awb > > When using Hudson's own database for access control, it would be useful to > auto-generate access permissions for users that have been auto-created. > When a committer gets email notification about a broken build, they would like > to be able to look at the Hudson logs. However, on an externally accessible > Hudson server, it is desirable to use matrix-based authorization and to > disallow > users to sign up. A small number of users can easily be given read permissions > manually, but an automated process would greatly help, especially as new > people > start to commit. > In the case of LDAP-based authorization, groups of users can be created for > this > purpose, but Hudson does not support this for its own database. It may be > necessary to implement a general group concept for Hudson's access control > database or (for purposes of this request) simply create a new special user > "autocreated". > Those newly created users should get an auto-generated password in email. > Since > people tend to misplace those emails, it may make sense to send it not when > the > user gets first created, but when the first broken build notification goes out > (or both). A forced password reset upon first login may also be useful. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
