Deny developers to edit issue

Post by grigori.rangelov »

Hi newbby here,
i want users in developers role to be able to change status, monitor and assign issues only. I setup everything except "Edit" button. I can remove it when i turn off "Handle an issue" in "Workflow Thresholds" but with that i remove "Change Status to".

How to deny ability to edit issue on developers role ?

This is a bug, or at least a changed behavior.
I entered a report at http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=16376
Maybe you want to try my suggested fix.

Hi everybody !

I'm facing the same problem as @grigori.rangelov had, but in version 2.4.0.

I need the developers to be able only to 'Change Status To' and 'Assign To' a bug, without giving them the rights to edit the whole issue.

1. Currently from the Issue View Page, a developer role is able to AssignTo a user and to Change Status To a status (via dropdown lists).
2. Once status is validated, the system displays the Issue Change Status Page where the developer is able to Add Note and to click the ‘Confirm or Assign or Resolve Issue’ button (the button's label is displayed according to the selected status).
3. Once clicking on this button, the system displays an ‘Acces Denied’ message.

This behaviour is different than the one of the Mantis demo site, where I succeed in changing the status from the 'Issue View Page'. Is it a regression of the fix implemented by @atrol ?

Please help !
