Huddson has no perms to install/upgrade plugins

When trying to upgrade a plugin I get:

Failure - Details
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/hudson/hudson/plugins/findbugs.hpi.tmp
(Permission denied)


The plugins dir is owned by user/group hudsonadmin.

How do others upgrade plugins?

This is on purpose to hinder a JIRA-like attack. When you need to
upgrade/install plugins, chown to hudson:hudson temporary. Do your
stuff and reset the ownership back.
