We are trying to use the dropdown in the upper right as the "selector" of which projects are available. We have created a single "main" project, and then made several "big" projects as children of that main project. Finally, we made child projects under the big projects for every application we support. This created a nice visually tiered selection in the dropdown for people to find the area and then the correct project to enter or view bugs.
We would like to prevent people from selecting any of the "big" projects, or the single "main" project, from entering a bug into but still leave it visible in the dropdown. Is this possible? When I tried to toggle the enable/disable box on the project, it removes it from the dropdown, along with all of its child projects. Reading the manual, there is no description for what that "status" checkbox does under section 6.8.2 of the Admin PDF.

Re: how to prevent bug entry into a project?
No ideas from anyone? Perhaps I need to restate the problem. We have several "Projects" we set up only in order to give a nice indentation and hierarchy to the Projects drop-down in the upper-right of the screen. This lets us categorize the individual projects per Office Area where we work. So, one area might have two applications we support, another might have just one and another might have five. We list each application under a "Project" titled by the office area, so they are grouped together per workgroup.
However, we do not want people to log in to Mantis and enter a new bug ticket in one of those "major Project" work areas, or in other words, we don't want people to assign a ticket to one of those areas that are displayed as a project. Hope that makes better sense.

Choose the project you want to change in projects drop down.
Goto page Manage > Manage Configuration > Workflow Tresholds
Uncheck "Report an issue" for all access levels.
