Key CI/CD/Jenkins Concepts and their Usage

Creating a user and setting permissions

1. Ensure that you are logged in as admin user.
2. Create a new user named miller. Provide the relevant information.
3. Configure Matrix Security by adding the admin user and the newly created user. The admin user should have all permissions. The miller user should only have read permissions for jobs and views.
4. Log out of the system.
5. Log in with the user miller and navigate to one of the jobs. Notice that you cannot edit the configuration or trigger a new build.
