http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Customizing-VC.html I am accessing files remotely from within Emacs through Tramp over mobile Internet.

there is an Jenkins automation server meant to be “for registered users only” — but everybody can inspect the build logs
Its security setting looks like this: “Security Realm”=>”Jenkins’ own user database” My question: Is there a way to impose even more restrictions, e.g.: before authentication you seen nothing You need the “role strategy” plugin for achieving this.
