Summary0021627: Show report bug menu entry if allowed for any project
Description

The "report bug" menu entry is not displayed when:

  1. current project is ALL PROJECTS and user has not global report bug access

  2. current project is a specific one, and user has not report access in
    that project

    (1) is confusing for users, when they have access to report in any of
    the specific projects they are assigned to, but still cant find the menu
    entry.
    Note that for globally allowed users, when trying to report in ALL
    PROJECTS, a page appears that promts the user to select a valid project

    (2) can be also confusing like (1), when the user is positioned in a
    project where is effectively a "viewer", want to report a bug and cant
    find the menu entry. This forces the user to select a valid project
    before being allowed to use the report menu.

Not sure why you created a new issue for this, unless I'm missing something it seems to me that 0014268 is the same problem... If so, I would close this as duplicate since the other issue already has relationships to several more.

yes i know i had seen this bug somewhere, but i could not find it until later, after the code was done, then i added the relation

To be precise, This issue also adds showing the link when positioned in a project without report permission
