Jenkins role strategy plugin is not working
I am using Role strategy plugin to authorize the users/user groups in Jenkins. I have created roles and assigned roles to users/groups as per this documentation but it is not working. Below are the details.
- Job name: web-proj-deploy
- Pattern: web-.*
- Role: web-user
Web-user is a project role and should access only the jobs whose name starts with ‘web-‘ as per the above pattern. But all the jobs are visible when logged in with user id whose role is web-user. The filtration is not being applied based on the pattern. Everything I configured as per the Jenkins plugin documentation but it does not work. What could be the issue? Thanks in advance!

Finally found the root cause for this and resolved the issue. After going through the jenkins plugin documentation again, I found that the role 'Anonymous' under 'Assign Roles->Project Roles' is not given any project role(all the roles are unchecked for Anonymous user) but in my job I gave some roles to Anonymous user. Because of this, the roles are overwritten and all the users by default can see all the jobs.
