Our reporters cannot close issues. This is the case only for specific projects. Does anyone have an idea as to why?

Choose the project from the project selection list
Goto page Manage > Manage Configuration > Workflow Tresholds
Check row "Allow Reporter to close Issue"

Maybe there is some misunderstanding.
There is the group of all users with access level reporter and there is the user who reported an issue.
"Allow Reporter to close Issue" allows just the singe user who reported the issue to close it.

In our case, not even the user who opened the specific issue can close it.

I believe I found the reason this happens! if you try to close an issue and enter a comment then it says "access denied". If you do not enter a comment then it allows you to close it.
