Jenkins Overall/Read permission

Question

When opening my Jenkins in the URL I cant seem to log in it throws out the message "User is missing the Overall/Read permission". I have tried the answer from a similar question but disabling the security does not work. Jenkins continue's to throw out the error. Somebody recommended that I remove the file all together but also failed. Any other solution anybody could supply me with?

Edit the /var/lib/jenkins/config.xml file and add you as an Admin as follows:

<authorizationStrategy class="hudson.security.ProjectMatrixAuthorizationStrategy">
.
.
<permission>hudson.model.Hudson.Administer:***Here is your username***</permission>
.
.
</authorizationStrategy>

Don't forget to go to restart the Server. Hope this helps!
