Authorize Project plugin

Jenkins plugin to configure a project to run with specified authorization.

What's this?

This plugin provides following features:

• Projects can be configured to have their builds run with specified authorization.
  • This is an implementation for QueueItemAuthenticator.
• The following ways are provided to specify authorization.
  • Run as the user who triggered the build.
    • Does not work for scheduled, or polled builds.
  • Run as anonymous.
  • Run as the specified user.
    • You are requested to enter the password of the specified user except for the following cases:
      • You are an administrator.
      • You are the specified user.
      • The specified user is not changed from the last configuration, and "No need for re-authentication" is checked.
        • This can threaten your Jenkins security. Be careful to use.
• Provides an extension point to add new ways to specify authorization.

Extension point

A new way to authorize projects can be added by extending org.jenkinsci.plugins.authorizeproject.AuthorizeProjectStrategy, overriding the following method:

public abstract Authentication authenticate(hudson.model.AbstractProject<?, ?> project, hudson.model.Queue.Item item);
