Version report

Jenkins and plugins versions report:

(I reduced the list to the relevant plugins)

Jenkins: 2.289.1
OS: Linux - 5.4.104+

github-branch-source:2.11.2
github-api:1.123
github:1.33.1
cloudbees-bitbucket-branch-source:2.9.10
Office-365-Connector:4.15.0
token-macro:2.15

Reproduction steps

• Install github-branch-source plugin
• Add GitHub org as pipeline

Results

Expected result:

I expected to be able to configure the Office 365 Connector in the GitHub org pipeline config, which will configure this for all repository multibranch pipelines within this org.

Actual result:

No Office 365 Connector section found, neither in the GitHub org level, nor in the repository level of the pipeline config. It is available on the branch level config, but readonly and therefor not usable.

I found a workaround for it. But the problem still exists because the workaround consists of changing the Jenkinsfiles within all of the repositories in my org. So I'd still like to configure this on the org level once and for every pipeline. :)

The workaround is to use the options directive within the pipeline and configure the necessary settings there. The webhook URL can be omitted and set at Jenkins config (Office 365 Connector section in Configure System) instead:

pipeline {
  options {
    office365ConnectorWebhooks([[
          name: 'Fancy Name',
          startNotification: false,
          notifySuccess: false,
          notifyAborted: true,
          notifyNotBuilt: true,
          notifyUnstable: true,
          notifyFailure: true,
          notifyBackToNormal: false,
          notifyRepeatedFailure: true,
          macros: [[template: env.BRANCH_NAME, value: 'main']], // Only send status on main branch
          factDefinitions: [[name: 'Help?', template: '💁🏼‍♀️ [Markdown supported](https://example.com)']]
      ]]
    )
  }
...
}

I can confirm this issue.
It is sad because Github is also linked to Blue Ocean plugin.
So actually, no way to get this connector working if BlueOcean plugin is installed.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin fixed the issue for me.
Configure System configuration was also saved.
Multiple restart of Jenkins were performed for other purposes.

@pdomineaux reinstalling blueocean or office-365 plugin?

@alexey-sellforte Reinstalling office-365 plugin.

Re-installation of the office365 plugin in the Jenkins did not resolve the issue for me, however the workaround suggested by biolauri by embedding within [ every instance of ] the Jenkinsfile the relevant config and utilisation commands of the office365connector seems to be working ( despite the hassle of having to implement this in every Jenkinsfile within the various repos setup to use the Jenkins instance ).

As an aside - despite being a local administrator of the Jenkins - the Jenkins instance I am trying to configure is a "shared" corporate Jenkins [ 'serverless' ] instance which is remotely configured and managed by a central team - this may have some side effects regarding the plugins and associated configs and what they are allowed to change [ or not ] within the Jenkins instance etc.
