How to change default permissions on Jenkins works

Question

I have a mysql instance that needs to dump csv files into a jenkins workspace. Unfortunately, Jenkins has permissions 755 for the workspace directory, and I need to be able to create and delete jobs of this type very often, so manual configuration doesn't work. How do I change the default permissions on these directories without writing a script do do it?

Answer 1

Just change the permissions on the root workspace directory. The workspaces for each job will be in subdirectories underneath the root, so they will inherit the root directory's permissions.

chown -R jenkins_user:jenkins_group /path_to_workspace_root
