Is also given in pipeline job, but still giving permission denied.

Answer

Hi,

By default Jenkins pipelines runs on Jenkins user who has only permission to access `/var/lib/jenkins/` directory. Add/Update the permissions of directory `/home/ec2-user/` to make the Jenkins user access it.

Use this command to give access to the directory: `sudo chmod -R +rw /home/ec2-user/`

Comment here if you need further help.
