instruction.txt
To change the jenkins user, open the /etc/sysconfig/jenkins (in debian this file is created in /etc/default) and change the JENKINS_USER to whatever you want. Make sure that user exists in the system (you can check the user in the /etc/passwd file ).
$JENKINS_USER="manula"
Then change the ownership of the Jenkins home, Jenkins webroot and logs.
chown -R manula:manula /var/lib/jenkins
chown -R manula:manula /var/cache/jenkins
chown -R manula:manula /var/log/jenkins
Then restarted the Jenkins jenkins and check the user has changed using a ps command
/etc/init.d/jenkins restart
ps -ef | grep jenkins
