How to give Jenkins super user permission

Question

I am trying to execute some shell script through Jenkins execution shell. When I am building my job, it keeps failing and I am getting permission denied errors.

I need to give Jenkins super user permission. I don't know how to make Jenkins super user.

Can anyone help me with this query?

Thanks.

Here is what you can try. Go to sudoers file by typing below command.

$sudo visudo

Now add the below lines in your sudoers file :

jenkins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

While saving the file remember saving it in /etc/sudoers, not in etc/sudoers.tmp.

After that restart your Jenkins server by using below command.

$service jenkins start

Your Jenkins server will face any permission issues now.

I hope it helps.
