You can create an admin user in Jenkins by following these steps:

1. Access Jenkins Management

  • Open your Jenkins web interface.
  • Click on "Manage Jenkins" in the left sidebar.
  • Select "Manage Users" from the list.

2. Create New User

  • Click on "Create User" on the right side of the page.
  • Enter the username and password for the new admin user.
  • Select "Administrator" from the "Role" dropdown menu.
  • Click on "Create User".

3. Verify Admin User Creation

  • You should see a confirmation message indicating that the user has been created successfully.
  • You can now log in to Jenkins using the newly created admin user.

4. Additional Considerations

  • If you're using an external user directory like LDAP, you may need to configure Jenkins to use it for user management.
  • You can also create different user roles with varying levels of access to Jenkins.
