Explain what are Authenticated Users and Anonymous users options in Jenkins Matrix-based security and what are their use cases.
Anonymous Users are people who visit Jenkins without logging in. Usually, they shouldn’t have any permissions, maybe just enough to see the login page.
Authenticated Users are those who’ve logged in. They’re your actual team members or developers, and you can decide what they can do, like view jobs, trigger builds, or manage pipelines.
Can we say that - “In Matrix-based security in Jenkins, granting permissions to the ‘Authenticated Users’ matrix and leaving the permission matrices for individual users blank will effectively give those permissions to all authenticated users.
This is a common way to set a baseline permission level for all users.
It’s used when you want all authenticated users to have the same permissions by default.”
Yes, that’s correct.
