ServiceMethodInvocationError when fetching repository permissions for current user

0
Marko Tomljenovic (316●47●109) | asked May 03 '16, 4:56 p.m.
I am using following code to see what repository permissions the currently logged in user has.

  public RepositoryPermissions getRepositoryPermissions(final String userId) {
    if (!this.repo.loggedIn()) {
      throw new IllegalStateException("Not logged in repository: " + this.repo.getRepositoryURI());
    }

    IExternalUserRegistryManager userRegistryManager = this.repo.externalUserRegistryManager();
    try {
      // this calls throws an exception if the currently logged in user does not have JazzAdmins permissions and it is
      // tried to get the permissions for a different user than the currently logged in one.
      String[] groupsForUser = userRegistryManager.fetchGroupsForUser(userId, null);
      boolean isJazzGuest = false;
      boolean isJazzUser = false;
      boolean isJazzAdmin = false;
      boolean isJazzDWAdmin = false;
      boolean isJazzProjectAdmin = false;
      for (String group : groupsForUser) {
        switch (group) {
          case IPermissionService.JAZZ_ADMINS:
            isJazzAdmin = true;
            break;
          case IPermissionService.JAZZ_DW_ADMINS:
            isJazzDWAdmin = true;
            break;
          case IPermissionService.JAZZ_GUESTS:
            isJazzGuest = true;
            break;
          case IPermissionService.JAZZ_PROJECT_ADMINS:
            isJazzProjectAdmin = true;
            break;
          case IPermissionService.JAZZ_USERS:
            isJazzUser = true;
            break;

          default:
            throw new IllegalStateException("Unsupported group encountered! Please add to switch clause!");
        }
      }
      return new RepositoryPermissions(isJazzGuest, isJazzUser, isJazzDWAdmin, isJazzProjectAdmin, isJazzAdmin, userId);
    }
    catch (TeamRepositoryException e) { // NOSONAR
      return null;
    }


For my user account I always get the above mentioned exception with the following stacktrace.

A colleague of mine can run the code without any problems.
Any idea what the problem could be?

I am running RTC 5.0.2 that has an external user registry (LDAP).
In the repository where I want to get the permissions from my user has the permissions JazzProjectAdmin and JazzUser

Small additional info. This does not happen on all servers in our landscape that I have access to.
