Getting Permission violation on accessing a link in jira

[rambabu patina]

Hi,

I am working on jira-importers-plugin customization to a normal user/group. I have been changed atlassian-plugin.xml and remaining files in this plugin and made the link to outside the administration.

But when i click on 'External Import' link i am getting "Permission Violation" error as "user does not have permission to access this page".

Why it is happening. In standalone application i am not getting this error, imported succesfully. But in test machines i am getting above error.

Could you please tell me, weather jira checking permissions any where for the link. Where i need to do changes please help me.

Regards,

Patina

By changing @WebSudoRequired to @WebSudoNotRequired annotation rectified the problem.

Hi Rambabu,

I am facing similar issue in my custom importer. May I know for which methods we need to add @WebSudoNotRequired annotation to avoid "Permission Violation" error.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Srinivas, In ExternalImport.java and ImporterProcessSupport.java files you need to change the annotations from @WebSudoRequired to @WebSudoNotRequired.

Hi Rambabu,

Thanks a lot for your response.

As I am writing custom importer, how to change these annotations as they are part of actual importer?

In custom impporter I have included its dependency as provided so please let me know how to change this in that case?

<dependency>

<groupId>com.atlassian.jira.plugins</groupId>

<artifactId>jira-importers-plugin</artifactId>

<version>${jim.version}</version>

<scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>

Thanks,

Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,

In that case you can override the classes ExternalImport and ImporterProcessSupport,and change the annotations from @WebSudoRequired to @WebSudoNotRequired and then you can use the overridden classes in your custom importer.

Thanks,

Rambabu
