Feature Request

When Jenkins has been deployed with its user management database, in In role-strategy-plugin we can only have assignments for users and only anonymous and authenticated groups. So, the limitation here is first we can’t create a new group due to the Jenkins limitations and when we want to give permission to all users except one or several users, then we have to define the list of all users in the assignments field.

In our requirements, we look for having an excludes field for users who have to have limited access to specific projects. It would be applicable if instead of the exclude field, we support regex/pattern in assignments.

I see, you feature request does belong to the role-strategy-plugin though this sounds like something you ought to solve in your authorization solution ie. AD, LDAP or SSO.

We’ve tried to use single quotes but it still didn’t work 😦 Aha! ok, then we’re going to follow it up in the role-strategy-plugin repository. Thank you 👍
