Description
A NullPointerException is thrown when trying to use the following code:
globalPermissionManager.getGroupsWithPermission(globalPermissionId);
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.impl.IdentifierUtils.toLowerCase(IdentifierUtils.java:42)
at com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.core.FilteredCrowdServiceImpl.isGroupToBeFiltered(FilteredCrowdServiceImpl.java:340)
at com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.core.FilteredCrowdServiceImpl.getGroup(FilteredCrowdServiceImpl.java:73)
at com.atlassian.jira.security.DefaultGlobalPermissionManager.getGroupsWithPermission(DefaultGlobalPermissionManager.java:260)
The problem is that we have a global permission (Browse Users) assigned to group Anyone, but I can confirm that this happens for any other global permission and that removing the permission for group Anyone resolves this.
This happens because group Anyone has a null name.
IdentifierUtils contains:
public static String toLowerCase(String identifier) { return identifier.toLowerCase(IDENTIFIER_COMPARE_LOCALE); // identifier is null here }
