Hudson: Access Denied User is missing the Read permission
Today I was adding some new users to our Hudson CI Server. Since we use Husdon’s Own User Database, I had to add new users in Hudson. However after that, when the new user tried to login, the user kept getting the following error:
Access denied User is missing the Read permission.
Google did not reveal any thing obvious. Then I started looking at Hudson configuration and realized that we’re using Hudson’s Matrix-based security authorization.
So every time we add a new user, we have to add the same user here as well. What a pain! Ideally permissions should be a link right from the new user’s page.
I wish we stop using the Martix-based security authorization and instead just use “Anyone can do anything” option. One less administrative step.
