Introduction

Jenkins supports views and folders for job creation.
We should investigate API for creating jobs in views and folders using plugin: https://www.cloudbees.com/products/cloudbees-jenkins-platform/team-edition/features/folders-plugin

This plugin would allow us to reorganize jobs into separate folders with different permissions so users would get access to their folders only. Most of the enterprise jenkins clusters using this plugin to avoid performance issues with lots of different jobs visible on main view. It hooks up into matrix security plugin as well allowing dynamic control for the views.

Goal

• Investigate folder plugin
• Check how to create jobs in "the folder"
• Make changes in our clients to use it.
