Hi all, first of all, let me thank you for this awesome plugin. Really appreciated! After having enabled the plugin, the admin role is not available anymore. Login is only possible through SSO authentication. I’m wondering if there is the chance to provide additional documentation in order to recover the access to Jenkins in the case SSO authentication will not work anymore. In that case, I guess I will completely locked out and Jenkins access will not be available anymore. Can you elaborate on that? Thank you very much, Lorenzo ---
