Issue

The error "Access Denied '$USER is missing the Job/ExtendedRead permission'" appears when trying to access a template in a role based access environment.

Environment

CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise with Role Based Access enabled.

Resolution

The Extended Read Permission Plugin is required to access job configurations that would otherwise require administrative permissions. Install it and add the "Extended Read" permission to the user you want to have access to the template.
