Hello , we would like to publish our plugin to a selected few customers. Is there anyway to restrict download or usage to selected customers ?

Jenkins infra only hosts fully open source plugins. There’s no access controls.

Cloudbees runs it’s own update center and then injects it’s own plugin.

Other companies have just listed jpi files for download.

We don’t really support it as it’s not the open my model we want to foster.
