Problem testing SVN plugin with Jira - no View Version Control Permission for users

Question

Hello,

We recently installed Jira for a project that currently uses SVN repositories. We then added the SVN plugin so that we can use Jira with this source code. We have Green Hopper, but we do not have Fisheye. I understand that the SVN plugin will provide the ability to see the commits associated with an issue without the Fisheye plugin. I guess my first question is whether this is correct, or do we need Fisheye also (or instead of the SVN plugin)?

My real question regarding the SVN plugin:

I was trying to test the plugin by following the instructions on the plug-in page, and in step 2, after creating the test project, it says to grant the current user 'view version control permission'. However, this is not a permission that is listed on the Jira Permissions Page that I can add, even though I'm logged in as a Jira administrator. Unfortunately I have to work through another system administrator, so it is not possible to just try things. Does anyone have an idea of what might be going on? Is there something in the configuration file that has to be uncommented so that this permission is available?  I looked at the configuration file, and there are several lines under the Fisheye section that are not commented, while all other sections are commented out (e.g. Web Linking, ViewCVS 1.0-Dev through 1.0.4, and WebClient for SVN).

Thank you for your help.

I still don't see this in any permission scheme anywhere, however, I deleted the cache folder, and went against the instructions and added "jira.option.ignore.url.with.key=false" to the jira-application.properties file and re-started the JIRA service.. now it populates.

I am an administrator too, and I can't see this "View Versin Control" in the list of permissions in the default project permission scheme setup. I run JIRA on my laptop as a pilot project along with an svn server. The plug-in is otherwise showing up, but none of my commits show up.

Check that the plugin is enabled in the plugins section, also check the logs for errors. You should see a "subversion commits" tab even without any repos configured. Also check the project you are looking at is actually using the default permission scheme.
