How to run Jenkins jobs as user other than "anonymous?"

I'm logged in as my user account (an admin) in Jenkins. I have project-based security on, with no access to "anonymous" user. Now when I run my Jenkins jobs manually, or via cron, the jobs run as "anonymous" user. How can I set my jobs to run as "jenkins" user by default?

Note I read Run jenkins job as another user, and the the default user is /etc/default/jenkins is jenkins, and that user owns the Jenkins files.

I mean why are my jobs "Running as anonymous" (seen on a job's console session) when I run them as my user, an admin user, or triggered by a timer?

Solution

  • I found it.

    In Manage Jenkins -> Configure Global Security, toward the middle of page there's a section called Access Control For Builds. The Strategy was set to Run as anonymous, I set it to Run as SYSTEM.
