'User is missing the Overall/Read permission' error with Jenkins GitHub OAuth Plugin

Question

I\'m using the github oauth plugin for our logins but for all of our users in the Organisation I get an error:

Access Denied

 is missing the Ov         


        

Answer 1

Fix it by these 2 shell commands on the server (sudo permission is required):

sudo ex +g/useSecurity/d +g/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.
