    In case you encountered error like " user is missing the Overall/Read permission"

    1. Stop Jenkins
    /etc/init.d/jenkins stop
    sudo vi /var/lib/jenkins/config.xml
    2.A. change useSecurity element's value to false
    false
    2.B. Remove authorizationStrategy block
    Start Jenkins again:
    /etc/init.d/jenkins start
    Access Jenkins through URL and reconfigure security again.
