Deploy as Jenkins User or Allow Jenkins To Run As Different User?

Question

I\'m just getting started with Jenkins CI, and had a question which I\'m struggling to find answers for in the docs or online. Wonder if someone might be able to offer some adv

Answer 1

I have not worked with Github and so this answer may not apply at all, but we do use Jenkins and we use both CVS & Subversion for source control.

In our system, we use different username/password combinations for all three (Jenkins, CVS, Subversion), and it has had no adverse effects yet (it has been a year since we deployed Hudson - currently building 50+ projects).

As long as you can get Jenkins to access the repo using your github deploy key, you shouldn't have to change Jenkins to run as django, or create a jenkins user key for github. Personally, I would keep them separate.

Answer 2

Did you try this?

1. Contact your OS admin team to grant to access to perform few operations on your version control using SUDO access.

2. OR run the command using sudo -H -u <username> command parameters..
