Fix for project roles for JENKINS-1489

Hello,

We get the following error when adding a JIRA group in Jenkins for comment visibility:

Updating JIRA-1234
Looks like JIRA-1234 is no valid JIRA issue or you don't have permission to update the issue.
Issue will not be updated.
com.atlassian.jira.rpc.exception.RemotePermissionException: You do not have permission to get a group.

Is it necessary that the JIRA user configured on Jenkins has global admin rights?
Why is the plugin calling getGroup() - which indeed most probably does require global admin rights, rather than just set directly the JIRA group on the comment object level?

Thanks,
Ioannis

We are also seeing the same error message. The error message is vague and I don't think it points to the correct concern.

The actual errors look like the following:
12:12:16 Updating BRPRJ-2173
12:12:16 Looks like BRPRJ-2173 is no valid JIRA issue or you don't have permission to update the issue.
12:12:16 Issue will not be updated.

12:12:16 Updating BRPRJ-1535
12:12:16 Looks like BRPRJ-1535 is no valid JIRA issue or you don't have permission to update the issue.
12:12:16 Issue will not be updated.

12:12:16 Updating BRPRJ-1716
12:12:17 Looks like BRPRJ-1716 is no valid JIRA issue or you don't have permission to update the issue.
12:12:17 Issue will not be updated.

The JIRA Issues are valid and the group we are using is also a valid group. It appears that this plugin just doesn't work or requires some configuration that is not documented.

We are using Jenkins 1.533, and JIRA 6.0.8 on linux servers. Jenkins is being run from Tomcat 6.0.29. Our Jenkins "JIRA Plugin" is version 1.38. The settings for the plugin are working (they validate), and I have confirmed our group does exist in JIRA.

Anyone still getting this on plugin 2.x via REST API ?

Please create new bug report if this is still the case.
