Symptoms

The system dashboard is configured with JIRA Agile gadgets such as Days Remaining or Burndown Charts. When a user browses to your JIRA prior to login, they see these gadgets in a broken state.

Cause

Specific directives (roles-required) were omitted from the atlassian-plugin.xml file.

Resolution

1. Download a fresh copy of the JIRA Agile plugin from Marketplace.
2. Move the file to a clean folder
3. Decompress the file
4. Locate the atlassian-plugin.xml file
5. Find the section labeled <!-- GADGETS -->
6. A number of stanzas will follow, similar to this:
   

   1. <gadget key="greenhopper-gadget-project-dashboard" name="GreenHopper Gadget" location="gadgets/greenhopper-project-dashboard.xml">

      <param name="roles-required">browse</param>
       </gadget>

7. As described in  JRA-21505 - Getting issue details... STATUS , add the <param name="roles-required">browse</param> directive to each stanza that describes a gadget that ought to be hidden
   

   1. Note that "browse" is an example role, and corresponds to Browse Projects. A full list of roles can be found in permissions.java in the JIRA source code, but some are mentioned here for reference:

      Values	Description
      use	JIRA Users Permission
      admin	JIRA Administrators
      browse	Browse Projects
      sysadmin	JIRA System Administrators
      pickusers	Browse Users

8. Compile the resulting files into a new .JAR file:
   

   1. jar cf <target-file-name> *

9. Uninstall JIRA Agile
10. Upload this new .JAR file to the server using the Upload Plugins function in the Universal Plugin Manager
