Your project is public or private?

It is a public project.

What is the benefit of a private project?

Thanks,

In this case, all user must have reporter access and you need to specify for each project the managers.

Not sure I understand, in which case public or private?

so in a public project it, can it be set up that only the users added to the project as managers with manger access level get email notifications. Currently it seems like all the users that I have in the mantis system that have manager access level get email notifications for all projects whether they are assigned or not. This seems like a bug or I am setting up the project and/or users wrong.

Thanks for your help,
Don

In public project, user herits their access level from the global configuration. So all managers defined in All projects are automatically assigned as manager in all public project.

So, if you want to keep public project, you need to set for all user the access level REPORTER and "assign" other access level (like DEVELOPER and MANAGER) to user for a specific project.

Example:

Global config:
User1 => REPORTER
User2 => REPORTER
User3 => REPORTER
User4 => REPORTER

Project1:
User1 => MANAGER
User2 => DEVELOPER

Project2:
User3 => MANAGER
User4 => DEVELOPER

Project3:
User1 => DEVELOPER
User4 => MANAGER

For all projects, all user have at least REPORTER access level. For Project1, User1 will reveive email, For Project2, User3 will receive and for Project3, User4 will receive email.
