Dive into Jenkins Roles

A role in Jenkins basically refers to a user that can has access to Jenkins.

A role can be assigned to a user to indicate the set of privileges assigned to that particular user. These privileges can be admin privileges or an admin user can then create many roles and add users to our Jenkins and allot a role specific to a particular user’s tasks.

Similarly, you can assign roles to your nodes.

In the Global Roles, inside the textbox for Roles to add, add the role that you want to assign to the users you just created.
