Hi, Currently the user accounts on our Hudson instances are fairly heavyweight, with separate Unix accounts associated with each Hudson account. Do we need this?
Probably not.
It would be easier if most users had just accounts for the Hudson web interface, and you'd only get a corresponding Unix account if you really needed to install extra software on the build servers. For example, in the projects I'm involved with it would be useful to give Hudson accounts to all or most of the committers so that they can better inspect build settings and results, trigger new builds, and set up new build jobs. None of these operations require command line access.
Justin, what do you think about offering Hudson webapp logins to any committer, but only shell logins to PMC members?
