Answer 1

I would highly suggest you run the Jenkins process as the jenkins user/group and not muck around in there as your own user account.

This will ensure your file permissions are proper and that the jenkins process only has access to the areas it needs as well as letting you spin up new slaves without worrying about permissions and custom settings.

You can always use sudo to become the 'jenkins' user to work with the files.

Answer 2

Please follow this command to give the permissions.

sudo chown -R <jenkins user>:<jenkins group> /jenkins_root_path

here <jenkins user> and jenkins group is the user and group which you are running jenkins under.

Answer 3

If the jenkins user is a member in the sudoers list:

sudo rm -rf /Users/****/.jenkins/workflow-libs/testCollections

But this can be dangerous.
