- Click on Manage Jenkins in the left sidebar.
- Select Manage Users from the list.
2. Create a New User
- Click on Create User.
- Enter the Username, Full Name, and Email Address for the new admin user.
- Set a Password for the user.
- Click Create User.
3. Assign Admin Role
- Navigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Users.
- Click on the newly created user's name.
- In the User Details section, click on the Configure link.
- Under Global Roles, select the Administrator role.
- Click Save.
Now the newly created user has full administrative privileges in your Jenkins instance.
