Creating a new Jenkins X login


How do I create a new Jenkins X login, i.e. a username and password to get into the Jenkins X GUI? It looks like Jenkins X has a different concept of User (Git user?).

I ran

jx create user --login someUsername

But can't see a new user created via the Jenkins GUI, but have seem some users magically created from previous Git commits.

Since this is Jenkins X, Security Realm has been set to Delegate to servlet container and so I have no obvious way to manage users.


Solution

  • We default to the kubernetes RBAC in Jenkins X for most things.

    You can configure the Jenkins Server via helm to tweak things like authentication and the like: https://jenkins-x.io/getting-started/config/

    We also have instructions on how to add a user to your Jenkins X installation: https://jenkins-x.io/faq/setup/#how-do-i-add-a-user-to-my-jenkins-x-installation
