Description

Is it possible to retrieve the build user (possibly as the BUILD_USER environment variable) associated with a given build? The BuildWithDetails object does not appear to provide it.

Using: 0.3.8.

Thank you, Tom

Research direction

Start by examining BuildWithDetails and the client API paths that construct or expose it, then check how Jenkins represents the user associated with a build. Confirm the expected behavior against a build with a known user; done means the client can retrieve that user or clearly documents why it cannot.
