Working with Jenkins Permissions
In this hands-on lab, we will set up a working group that has a supervisor and two users. The supervisor account will be able to see the users' resources, but the users will not be able to see one another's resources. This will demonstrate an understanding of how permissions are applied in Jenkins.
