Error description

• When attempting to start a project that contains an inline
  project that the user attempting to start a build does not have
  access to, the build variables and step selection under the job
  start page.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  - Generate a environment ENV1 with two simples normal variables
  VAR1=1 and VAR2=2, as well as a pulldown variable PULLDN with
  options Greeting=Hello (Default), Parting=GoodBye, and set to
  "Build Engineer" access.
  - Generate a parent project PROJ1, with two steps performing
  simple command "echo hello" or ".sleep0" and set to "Build
  Engineer" access.
  - Generate a child project PROJ2 with a single step performing
  simple command "echo hello" or ".sleep0" and set to "Guest"
  access.
  - Configure PROJ1 step 1 to inline PROJ2
  - Configure ENV1 to PROJ1.
  
  - Using a user part of the "Build Engineer" access group, but
  not under the "Group" access group, and attempt to start a PROJ1
  build.
  
  Expected result:
  
  - Build variables VAR1, VAR2, and PULLDN are editable under Job
  start page.
  - Build steps 1 and 2 for PROJ1 are visible and accessible.
  
  Actual result:
  
  - Build variables VAR1, VAR2, and PULLDN are not editable under
  Job start page.
  - Build steps are not visible under Job start page.
