...Diagnosis
A copy of the permission scheme is still created, but certain groups/roles/users are removed from certain permissions.
Cause
There are corrupted entries in the database for the permission scheme. Running this SQL query will list them down:
SELECT * FROM schemepermissions where permission_key is null and scheme is not null;This is a sample result:
Project Roles 10002 and 10000 are assigned to permission -1 which has NULL permission key in scheme 0 (default permission scheme).
Resolution
Back up JIRA firstRun this SQL query to delete the corrupted entries
DELETE FROM schemepermissions where permission_key is null and scheme is not null;Restart JIRA
