I am trying to provide a Role-Based Strategy project role patterns: 

  Role to Add: sysadmin
  Pattern: *-stack

While saving those changes, I am getting following error in Jenkins

Stack trace
java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Dangling meta character '*' near index 0
*-stack

What is the error in my pattern?

We can use shell regular expression to match the Jenkins projects.In this case we can use

Patter: \S*-stack

You could consider using regex (.*) in place of *

(.*)-stack

  • Well I tried the accepted answer on my Jenkins installation, didn't work for me. Tried with the regex and it worked fine. – dctw Jun 27 '19 at 07:31
  • If anyone's looking: `(.*)` works as match all, while `.*` doesn't. – shycha Mar 16 '20 at 22:24

In case you need to provide access to jobs inside the folder as well as to job in root:

folder_name.*|job_in_root
