When viewing a wallboard as an anonymous user, gadgets that I don't have permission to see display an error

      JIRA supports permission control for gadgets by looking for a "roles-required" param in the gadget definition in atlassian-plugin.xml. This is used, for example, to hide certain gadgets from anonymous users when they look at the dashboard.

      For example:

      <gadget key="admin-gadget" name="Administration" location="gadgets/admin-gadget.xml">
    <param name="roles-required">admin</param>
    <resource type="download" name="admin-screenshot.png" location="images/admin-screenshot.png"/>
    <resource type="download" name="admin-thumb.png" location="images/admin-thumb.png"/>
</gadget>

<gadget key="road-map-gadget" name="Road Map Gadget" location="gadgets/roadmap-gadget.xml">
    <param name="roles-required">browse</param>
    <resource type="download" name="roadmap-screenshot.png" location="images/roadmap-screenshot.png"/>
    <resource type="download" name="roadmap-thumb.png" location="images/roadmap-thumb.png"/>
</gadget>

      It looks like the wallboard plugin is trying to render these gadgets for everyone, resulting in an error.
