In this post let we see how to setup a admin account in jenkins. we do all the things using admin account only.To do this we require an account with all the admin related permissions.We do most of the things using Manage jenkins option. All the jenkins related configuration will be availble there only.

Steps:

From the login screen do the following things

First time you need to do little bit configuration as check the allow user to signup option to create a basic account for the admin related stuff to do that

Go to

àClick Manage jenkins

àThen Click Configure Global Security

àCheck the Enable security option 

àThen select Jenkins’ own user database

àThen check Allow users to sign up

àThen  click save

 

àThen click on Signup option 

àYou will get the following screen

àFill the detailes like username,password,confirmation password,Full name,email-address

Then you will get the following screen

Then 

After creating an user(admin) just remove the allow users to sign up option.

àClick Manage jenkins

àThen Click Configure Global Security

àThen select Jenkins own user database

àThen uncheck Allow users to sign up

àThen Click on save
àThen logout from the account
