Symptom
In the Administration view when accessing Global Permissions, the page is empty:

When accessing the Defaults page under Repository Settings, you receive a javascript popup error:

Error calling server:com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptException: (TypeError) : this.ui.items.auiSelect2 is not a function
In addition to the above, you could experience other weird behavior that will produce the javascript error in a popup window or in the java console output for your web browser.
Cause
The cause of this javascript error is due to two system add-ons being disabled despite being enabled by default:
JIRA Integration :: Plugin
Inline Issue Creation Plugin for Crucible

Find and enable both add-ons
