Start in the authorize-project-plugin by reproducing the issue with a freestyle job using Git and the “Run as Specific User” authorization option, comparing it with a pipeline job. Trace how the configured credentials are presented in the freestyle job; done means the expected credentials are selectable without changing the working pipeline behavior.
