I recently updated to JIRA 5.2.6. Previously, JIRA SU worked fine (JIRA 5.1.x). Now, after re-editing the userbrowser.jsp file to add the SU link, I can only SU for users that are in the JIRA Internal Directory. The link simply doesn't display for users managed via Active Directory.

Has anyone experienced this? Is there a fix?

Here you go. Note that I use "Impersonate" instead of "SU".

Hi Justin,

Could you past here the content of your userbrowser.jsp file? Then we can take a look at your modifications and see if there is some wrong.

Cheers
