I'm having an issue with checkout cleartool element from jenkins I've been trying to make cleartool checkout from jenkins and from external batch I'm running but for both I receive this error message: 

cleartool: Error: No permission to perform operation "checkout". 
cleartool: Error: Must be one of: member of element group, 
                  element owner, VOB owner,     member of ClearCase group

Does anyone knows a simple solution?

You need to check the value of the environment variable CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP, when Jenkins executes the checkout.
It needs to be set to the main group of the Vob you are trying to access (cleartool checkout <path\to\a\view>\aVob\path\to\a\file).

And you need to make sure Jenkins is launched with a user account, not (especially on Windows) a system account.
