Jenkins Remote Trigger Not Working

Question

I am getting the following error when i try triggering a build using the following command:

curl http://jenkins_server:port/jenkins/job/job_name/build?token=token_name

Answer 1

In my case i had the URL and token correct, but had forgotten one of the required permissions for the API user that triggers the URL/build.

The permissions have to minimally include the list here:

• Overall - Read
• Job - Build
• Job - Read
• Job - Workspace
