Summary	0034601: About the "Access Level" column in "Manage Configuration" -> "Configuration Report"
Description	Hello, I would like to customize the bug report page for the "reporter" role so I created the "bug_report_page_fields" config option but it can only be done by user and or project. That said, I saw there is an "Access Level" column with only "administrator" as value and it looks like not editable. I tried to edit it directly in DB but it seems not working as well. Could you please tell me if I misunderstood something or if it is a bug? Of course I'm also interested to know if there is any way to achieve this even by using the config_inc.php file ;) Thank you.
Steps To Reproduce	Go to "Manage Configuration" -> "Configuration Report" Configure any option and see the "Access Level" column
Tags	No tags attached.

TBH I have never actually used this feature, and I'm not sure how well it is implemented. I don't really recommend using it.

So the "Access Level" columns in the page has nothing to do with what I'm looking for and you confirm by default I can't tune the regular field availability based on the access level. I guess it can be possible to do it via a plugin?

dregad 2024-08-31 09:48 developer ~0069135	I guess it can be possible to do it via a plugin? Maybe, but I'm not sure the necessary hooks exist out of the box. You may want to have a look at https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/SimpleScreen (I have not tested it). This is not a bug or feature request for MantisBT (you are asking for help on how to customize the bug report page). I am therefore resolving this issue as "no change required". Please use the forums to get support on customizing and using MantisBT (refer to https://mantisbt.org/support.php for links and further details).
