Jenkins User Is Missing the Overall/read Permission

xx Answers xx

This is how I resolved the authentication problem:

1. Edit config.xml file, e.g.

                       sudo vi /var/lib/jenkins/config.xml                                      

   1. Alter useSecurity element's value to fake, e.chiliad.

                              <useSecurity>false</useSecurity>                                              

   2. Remove authorizationStrategy cake

2. Restart Jenkins: /etc/init.d/jenkins restart.

3. Access Jenkins through URL as usual and reconfigure security again.

• Just like on the dancefloor, back that thang upward: cp -R /var/lib/jenkins /var/lib/Fill-in-jenkins

  February 5, 2015 at 23:16

• Notation that the question is about how to make security work, non how to restart Jenkins without security to be able to access it.

  Jul 27, 2016 at 8:58

• True but, thanks then much I thought I had lost my jenkins installation afterward locking the administrator out by accident

  Jan 11, 2018 at sixteen:00

• If we do this all current users will lose their user proper noun and password right and have to create a new password all user? what if I simply have reset permission of one user only?

  Dec 19, 2019 at 10:34

• We merely experienced similar upshot. Information technology happened afterwards adding a new user to role. To resolve information technology I changed useSecurity to false, restarted the Jenkins, then stopped Jenkins again and reverted the parameter to be true... somehow information technology solved the result. Would happy to know if someone knows RC for this problem and how to foreclose in the future.

Have you followed this footstep, from the plugin page?

Control user authorisation (i.eastward. who is immune to see the jobs and build them) using the Github Commiter Authorization Strategy

Also, make sure you actually allow authenticated users to access Jenkins

• Under Jenkins global configuration, under Authorization, add user/group called authenticated
• Give that group Overall Read permission
• The grouping should prove up with a "grouping" icon (two users), every bit opposed to single user icon.

• Yes i added our arrangement, Blooie, to the list but the members of the organisation can't login. They all get the above error

  Mar 28, 2014 at sixteen:23

• Did you setup authenticated group to accept permissions at all? I've updated the answer

  Mar 28, 2014 at sixteen:34

• Ok so now i'm really really confused... you ask if i followed the step from the plugin folio and this is all that step says: cloudup.com/cfbsnzHGBxA . I'm using the github authority strategy and my users are public members of our organisation. Now you lot're talking about "Global Configuration", I assume that you lot hateful "Global Security Configuration" cloudup.com/cfFzfQ8bYol I've gone to the Authorization department in the Global Security Configuration and i don't come across anything related to groups: cloudup.com/cdPRoZ0xqxT Am i missing something?

  Mar 29, 2014 at 21:13

• I assume that the comments about 'authenticated' group are bold that you are using "Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy" -- which it sounds like you are not: i.imgsafe.org/218e656913.png

I had the same problem with "... is missing the Overall/Read permission" on Jenkins (1.651.2) with activated Credentials Plugin.

Simply it was my own failure: I only configured the user on project side (past credential plugin) but missed to configure the global security.

And so I fixed it by selecting:

Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Configure Global Security

And did setup missing global settings (or projection matrix based 1)

• Thanks. Your solution was awesome when i added new user. I faced the same error and resolved.

  Feb 25, 2019 at 20:45

• Yep, this is the right answer without compromising the Security. Thank you

  April 30, 2021 at 16:52

reset from <useSecurity>true</useSecurity> to <useSecurity>simulated</useSecurity> in config.xml and prepare the permission again.

• I think this is simpler than removing entire blocks of XML

  Jun 24, 2016 at 18:30

Edit file /var/lib/jenkins/config.xml and add together the post-obit lines :

                                  <authorizationStrategy form="hudson.security.ProjectMatrixAuthorizationStrategy">     <permission>hudson.model.Hudson.Read:john.smith</permission>   </authorizationStrategy>

• Nice and succinct. Saves faffing about with turning security off and on again, etc.

  Aug 24, 2017 at 20:31

What I did when I got this error is to edit config.xml as mentionned by other users and correctly re-add my username in LOWERCASE in "configureSecurity" Jenkins' page. I was using "KrustyHack" when adding permissions but it didn't piece of work. I had to add "krustyhack" instead, and it worked.

I hope it helps.

• I had the problem in the question and fixed it in the similar mode as this reply mentions. Yet, I did that editing the config directly: sed -i '' -east 's/:Admin/:admin/grand' Home/config.xml. a little bit more than information is here: egeek.me/2015/03/07/…

As well bank check the case user names in the authorizationStrategy element. I made my new user's proper noun lower case and restarted the service and it the error went away.

• My user was getting an error of FRED@mycompany.com is missing the Overall/Read permission. I had that user in my jenkins matrix equally fred@mycompany.com. Every bit soon as I added FRED@mycompany.com to the Jenkins matrix, that user could login ok.

  Oct xix, 2016 at 12:45

Prepare it past these 2 shell commands on the server (sudo permission is required):

              sudo ex +k/useSecurity/d +thou/authorizationStrategy/d -scwq /var/lib/jenkins/config.xml sudo /etc/init.d/jenkins restart                          

This will remove useSecurity and authorizationStrategy lines from your config file.

Run across as well: Disable security at Jenkins website

Nosotros hit this aforementioned error when a github organization administrator changed the system'due south settings for "Third-party access" to "restrict third-party application admission". Reverting to the previous settings within the github organization resolved the problem.

Meet github oauth-app-access-restrictions for details on how to configure that properly.

The consignment of roles to users is stored in config.xml file. Add the ID of the user directly to the role and then restart Jenkins.

In my instance, I take a role named editor and a agglomeration of users assigned to the role.

                              <role name="editor" pattern=".*">      <permissions>          <...>          <permission>hudson.model.Item.Create</permission>          <permission>hudson.model.Detail.Workspace</permission>          <permission>...</permission>      </permissions>      <assignedSIDs>          <sid>bob</sid>          <sid>alice</sid>          <sid>**newuser**</sid>         </assignedSIDs>   </office>

The matrix security is non terribly clear. I am a fellow member of a specific group in our org that has admin privileges even so I am also an authenticated user. I would think that the i group super-cedes the other still I have to accept both in order to actually log into the system and be admin. It's screwed upward IMO.

• Go to $JENKINS_HOME (linux, jenkins in windows), and find config.xml file.
• Open up this file in the editor. (take backup of .jenkins home)
• Look for the <useSecurity>true</useSecurity> element in this file.
• Supplant "true" with "false"
• Remove the elements authorizationStrategy and securityRealm
• Outset Jenkins

I had the same trouble before, your OAuth application need your organization owner'due south approve, and so the OAuth Plugin can access the individual data in it

answered Nov 20, 2015 at 2:21

I am using Crowd two plugin and I have the same problem. I fixed information technology by downgrading OWASP Markup Formatter Plugin from varsion 1.2 to version one.1 so changing Markup Formatter in Configure Global Security value to Raw HTML, before it was Plain text.

I had exactly the same problem and calculation the plugin Role Strategy Plugin fixed the problem.

All I had to do was install the plugin, create two groups - admin / developer and and so add users to the groups.

A much much improve solution than recreating the whole permissions matrix :)

answered Jun ane, 2016 at 11:54

I had a similar problem I was not able access Jenkin account and the system was locked. I had only an error message. "Access Denied "

When I tried to reinstall Jenkins then information technology prompted to Repair option. Past clicking Repair choice it fixed the problem.

• I can't access that, the system is locked and all I can see is this fault message.

  Aug 24, 2017 at 7:42

I edited the /var/lib/jenkins/config.xml file and replaced the

                <authorizationStrategy>...</authorizationStrategy>                              

with

                <authorizationStrategy course="hudson.security.FullControlOnceLoggedInAuthorizationStrategy">     <denyAnonymousReadAccess>truthful</denyAnonymousReadAccess> </authorizationStrategy>                              

It is the default settings after installation. Then restart the jenkins service.
