Private Issues only for Readers

Post by jane_t »

My apologies is this is easy, but I have failed to find the answer in the documentation, I am very new to MantisBT.

When "reporters" add issues I want them to always be Private, i.e Reporters can not add public issues, that way we can triage them to see which ones we want to make public.

You would have to write a plugin or change source of Mantis to get exactly what you want.

By adding the following lines to file config_inc.php you get nearly what you want.

Code: Select all

$g_default_bug_view_status = VS_PRIVATE;
$g_set_view_status_threshold = UPDATER;
This might be inconvenient for you, as any user with higher access level than reporter will now have to change from private to public if they want to create public issues.

Thanks I think that will work just fine. We always want to make a positive decision to let most users see an issue. :D
