Set of environment variables that describe the user who started the build.
The plugin provides the following environment variables:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| BUILD_USER | Full name (first name + last name) |
| BUILD_USER_FIRST_NAME | First name |
| BUILD_USER_LAST_NAME | Last name |
| BUILD_USER_ID | Jenkins user ID |
| BUILD_USER_GROUPS | Jenkins user groups |
| BUILD_USER_EMAIL | Email address |
Set the global option to add build user variables to the environment for all builds (in Manage Jenkins, Configure System).
Select Set Jenkins user build variables and reference the variables during the build:
node {
withBuildUser {
def user = env.BUILD_USER_ID
}
}
or with declarative option:
options {
withBuildUser()
}
Release notes are available in GitHub Releases since July 2020 (build-user-vars plugin 1.6 and later). Prior release notes are available in the plugin repository changelog.
