Permissions are the individual actions that users or roles can perform within Jenkins. These actions can range from basic read-only access to more powerful capabilities like creating, configuring, and deleting jobs, managing plugins, and more.

Some commonly used permissions in Jenkins include:

• Read: Allows users to view information, including job configurations and build results.

• Build: Permits users to manually trigger builds of specific jobs.

• Configure: Grants users the ability to modify job configurations.

• Delete: Allows users to delete jobs.

• Manage Jenkins: Provides access to manage global Jenkins configurations and settings.

• Overall: Covers broad permissions affecting the entire Jenkins instance, such as accessing the system log or managing user accounts.
