[JIRA] (JENKINS-14546) Regular users (others than admin) can't see any nested-views (other than the default one) with role-based authorization strategy activated

Martin Kutter edited a comment on JENKINS-14546 Regular users (others than admin) can't see any nested-views (other than the default one) with role-based authorization strategy activated I think this is due to how Jenkins handles read permissions in Views. In hudson.security.AuthorizationStrategy#getACL, there's the following code: if (!hasPermission && permission == View.READ) Unknown macro: { return base.hasPermission(a,View.CONFIGURE) || !item.getItems().isEmpty(); } The problem here is that for a nested view containing views (and no Jobs), item.getItems().isEmpty() is always true (getItems() only returns TopLevelElements - which [nested] views are not). One way to fix this could be to introduce a isEmpty() method in hudson.model.Views - which would return this.getItems.isEmpty(). Subclasses like NestedView from the Nested Views Plugin could override this method, and return true if any of the contained views is not empty.
