Missing "Manage Users" on Manage Jenkins page

Question

I'm running a local instance of Jenkins 2.1. I'd like to create a couple of users with different security access. Till now, I've been working as the generic anonymous user with no security enabled at all. You can see the alert from Jenkins telling me to set it up on the attached screen shot.

I feel like I'm going a little crazy, but I don't see the Manage Users option on my Manage Jenkins page that all the tutorials tell me to start with.

Anyone know where else I should look?

Have you enabled security? Do this and (IIRC use the defaults to) allow Anonymous to manage jenkins, then you have the chance to manage users, prior to restricting access. – Wanderjahr

Clicking Enable security and choosing Jenkin's own user database under Security Realm did the trick. Thank you. – Borate

Answer 1

See Jenkins, Standard Security Setup:

Immediately after installation, Jenkins will allow anyone to run anything as user jenkins, which is bad. This page shows you how to set up basic security using the Configure Global Security page.

The Configure Global Security page has two sections in which you:

• Set the security realm to determine who is allowed access
• Set the authorization to determine what each user is allowed to do

See also Securing Jenkins:

In the default configuration, Jenkins does not perform any security checks. This means the ability of Jenkins to launch processes and access local files are available to anyone who can access Jenkins web UI and some more.

Securing Jenkins has several aspects to it.

Answer 2

In the "Configure Global Security" select "Jenkins’ own user database " Then the Manage user section will get enabled.

Answer 4

it's not missing in the manage plugins under security section.but when you try to change the password it will not appear.In security realm select jenkins own user's database and check the sign up option and authorization select only loggedin option and uncheck the anonymous read only access and click on apply and save and refresh the jenkins url you will get the register option inthat change the password to the new one. and click on create account. you will be logged in to the jenkins server and when you go the manage jenkins>under security section now you will find the users and when you click on users you can be able to see all the users who are there before making changes and after making the changes.
