Description:
When I connect via SSH to the Jenkins server and log into the Jenkins user and run id I get:

uid=1001(jenkins) gid=1002(jenkins) groups=1002(jenkins),27(sudo),998(docker)

But when I run a job (in which I run id) I get this:

uid=1001(jenkins) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

Which breaks a lot of my setup. Is there a way to run jobs as the Jenkins user setup from the first id command?

Looks like this issue is similar to this one: https://community.bitnami.com/t/root-docker-config-json-permission-denied/80434

Is this something that could help out? https://superuser.com/questions/847553/jenkins-group-while-in-job-is-not-the-same-as-in-terminal
I don't know what the equivalent for /etc/sv/jenkins/run would be on the Bitnami Jenkins server though.

Hi @vedran,

Are you using docker? For issues related to our Docker containers could you contact us directly from Github?

Hello @michiel,

I am using it but not in this case. Here I am trying to install the dependencies (yarn install) and run tests of a repository. The build is failing because the user does not have permissions to create /root/.config/yarn which it shouldn't have to create in the first place but that's because it is in group root instead of jenkins where everything is already preconfigured to run yarn commands.

@michiel I may have misunderstood your question. If it was regarding how the Jenkins was setup, in that case it is via an AMI on AWS.
