Ownership Plugin Configuration

Ownership plugin can be flexibly configured via global settings. These settings can be found in Manage Jenkins/ Configure / Ownership section.

Top-level settings

This section defines global settings for the plugin. The

Available settings:

• Require Configure rights - allows to restrict owner assignment options by the Item.CONFIGURE permission. If Ownership-Based Security is enabled, this control should be unchecked.
• Service Owners e-mail - Email of the service owners. It will be used for generation of Contact service owners control in the Ownership Summary Box.
• Ownership Management policy - This option can be used to automatically set up ownership for newly created and copied items.
• By default, the ownership won't be set up
• Assign job creators as owners automatically assigns owners (useful for Ownership-Based security)
• Globally Inject ownership variables - If enabled, ownership variables will be automatically injected to all classic job types (Freestyle, Matrix, etc.). For Jenkins Pipeline the ownership global variable will be always enabled independently of this setting.
• Use a specific e-mail address resolver - If enabled, the plugin will be using only a limited set of email resolvers to determine the user email.
• The option may be used to optimize the resolution when plugins with heavy email resolvers are installed (e.g. Subversion or Perforce plugins).
• Fast UI resolver uses built-in routines of the Mailer plugin => user e-mails will be resolved by user properties and e-mail suffixes
• Setup default permissions for item-specific security - If enabled, Ownership-Based Security will have a custom default settings when the job owner specifies or resets Item-specific security .

Advanced e-mail options

This section manages the generation of mailto:/ hyperlinks in Ownership summary boxes.

You can do the following:

• Enable/Disable visualization of the hyperlinks
• Specify the email subject and body templates using the ${VALUE} macros. Full list of available macros is specified in the built-in documentation.
• Change the default email recipient separator

Below you can find a sample email generated by the plugin:

Ownership Display options

This section allows to hide Ownership summary boxes in particular cases. Some additional visualization settings are also available in previous sections (e.g. Advanced e-mail options allows hiding email links).

Ownership Inheritance options

This section contains settings, which allow optimizing ownership inheritance to get a better performance on large-scale instances.
