atrol 2023-11-23 15:44 developer ~0068338	I was not able to reproduce. Check on page "Manage" > "Configuration" > "Workflow Threshold" of the affected project if "Monitor an issue" is set for "reporter" access level.

dregad 2023-11-28 03:56 developer ~0068346	I did not actually test to confirm, but the problem may have been introduced by the fix for 0029454. Make sure that the logged-in user who is attempting to add others to the monitoring list, has an access level >= monitor_add_others_bug_threshold

swaq 2023-11-28 06:41 reporter ~0068348	This check didn't solve the problem. Monitor an issue" is set for "reporter

dregad 2023-11-28 08:31 developer ~0068349	Please do not confuse monitor_bug_threshold (Access level needed to monitor bugs), and monitor_add_others_bug_threshold (Access level needed to add other users to the list of users monitoring a bug).

pikachurus 2023-11-30 02:17 reporter ~0068356	@atrol, I haven't changed these settings for a long time. this issue came with 2.26.0 update. tried to disable some external plugins (like this one https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/MonProj), didn't help. image-2.png (58,630 bytes) image-2.png (58,630 bytes)

dregad 2023-11-30 03:10 developer ~0068357	@pikachurus This is the setting that you need to check, as mentioned in 0033342:0068346 Make sure that the logged-in user who is attempting to add others to the monitoring list, has an access level >= monitor_add_others_bug_threshold image-3.png (54,411 bytes) image-3.png (54,411 bytes)

dregad 2023-12-01 11:28 developer ~0068366	@pikachurus can you please confirm your setting for limit_view_unless_threshold (or the legacy limit_reporters, if you're still using that) ? Considering the latest discussion in 0033348 (see 0033348:0068365) I'm now pretty sure that it's a duplicate.

pikachurus 2023-12-05 10:25 reporter ~0068389 Last edited: 2023-12-05 10:26	@dregad, "limit_view_unless_threshold" sets to developer, but i've tried other options - nothing changes. Considering the latest discussion in 0033348 (see 0033348:0068365) I'm now pretty sure that it's a duplicate. I read this discussion and yeah, we deal with same problem :( now we can't give access to monitor issue for specific user ("guest star") in project. image-4.png (15,778 bytes) image-4.png (15,778 bytes)
