Limited Project Access

Post by glennp »

Hello,

I have just installed MantisBT on my company's server and trying to get things set up. We want to use a single instance of MantisBT to service all of our clients. In my initial setup I added 2 projects and two "reporter" users each with access to one of the projects. I set up the projects as private.

When I log in to user1 that has access only to project1 I see both project1 and project2 in the projects drop-down on the top right of all the user pages. The same occurs with user2 which only has access to project2. If I select the project that the user does not have access to none of the issues I have added shows up. But we do not want users to see projects that they do not have access to anywhere on the website.

I have been browsing the documentation and going through the forums. The directions to accomplish this may be right there and I keep missing it but I sure can't figure out how to manage this. How do I limit any given user to see ONLY the projects they have been given access to? Or is this not possible without customization?

Thanks for your feedback!!

Which version do you use?
I am not able to reproduce this issue with latest stable version 1.2.8 of MantisBT.

Thanks for the reply.

I am using v1.2.8. schema version 183.

Ok.. Well, forget about it I guess. I just went out to do a screen image of the page I am talking about. I have been working all morning trying to figure this out. I have logged off and on several times with no change. I just logged on again one of the reporter users. Now the project selector drop-down no longer shows up. Wonder why it took so long to go away?

Just a guess: Do you use a proxy?

No, we don't use proxies. Actually I have it installed on an office server and currently accessing it directly over the internal net.

Things are starting to come together with this. Email was a major headache, but it's also working now. Next comes customizing status levels, severity codes and priorities.
