I am running the below command to get the user who is currently logged into jenkins.

hudson.model.User.current()

But, the result i get is "SYSTEM". Does this mean that all builds in jenkins happen as SYSTEM user. And if that is the case, is the below approach, the only way to get the userID of the user who triggered the build?

for(hudson.model.Cause cause : build.causes) {
userBuild = cause.getUserName()
}

Actually, i am trying to edit the buildCaption.jelly in jenkins, so that only the user who triggered the build can cancel the build. And i am stuck at a point wherein i need to get the userid of the currently logged in user, so that i can check if he is the same as the user who started the build. Any ideas, please suggest. Thanks in advance.

did you solve it ? – sirineBEJI Jun 15 '18 at 14:05
Was able to get it to work by modifying the files mentioned in the url https://github.com/NithinManmohan/Jenkins-Customization-Code. But didn't implement it in the CI server. – Iowa Jun 28 '18 at 05:19
@lowa Where did you modify these files? Did you fork the jenkins core? – JRichardsz Aug 11 '21 at 23:26
@JRichardsz I didnt fork the jenkins core. I used decompiler to update my local jenkins instance. – Iowa Aug 16 '21 at 12:23
