[JENKINS-60349] User credentials not usable by Git plugin

While I can select user-level credentials in a job (configured to run as the specified user), I obtain an error "Warning: CredentialId "xyz" could not be found." when trying to run the job.

Can you tell me which additional information you need?

I believe the problem should be with com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.CredentialsMatchers as used in hudson.plugins.git.gitSCM.
