Jenkins - Role based authentication - Sing up with default role

I am setting up a Jenkins instance to run static-code-analysis for many projects. Each projects, on their own, create their code-analysis-jobs with their SCM and branches. I have the Role Strategy Plugin plugin installed but struck configuring the system with the below criteria.

  • The project leads should be able to signup the Jenkins and create/view/modify/run the jobs they only created. (Is it possible for this lead-role user to create user of developer role?)
  • The developers can view/build the jobs which they have privileges.
  • The project leads can assign the developers with jobs they can view/run.

How to do this, if at all possible? If not, how other ways you all do it considering the Jenkins to allow users signup, create/manage/run only their jobs (securing the jobs from other users)? (Also, the signed user should not be allowed to administer the Jenkins)

EDIT-1: I have an admin role (myself) user who has the all privileges to configure the system, but the admin to perform the role assignment of every user who signup.

That sounds very complicated. Is it really necessary to have so much structure? Why not give developers all privileges and have a couple of administrator users? It will be much simpler for you – Mark Chorley
Okay, so, how do you manage the users and roles? Can you answer the 2nd question? – Vijay Veeraraghavan

The Role Strategy Plugin should suffice your request.

It even has regex pattern based setting where a user can only see certain projects.

I have been using this plugin extensively and its really helpful.
