Require non anonymous users for one project

Post by obones »

Hi

We're using mantis 0.19.2 and I was wondering if there is any way to force non anonymous users for one project only.
What I want is to allow everyone to see bug reports, but I want people with a valid login to be the only ones to be able to add new ones, add comments and so on...
Is this at all possible with the version I have? If not, would upgrading to the latest RC allow this?
Thanks for your help.

Yes. You can make the project private and add all users but the anonymous one to the project.

But wouldn't make that project invisible for any non logged user?
I mean would it still be possible for users to create a login for it? Or would I have to add them every time a new login is created?

I mis-understood.

You could set the anonymous user to "viewer" for the project in question. They would only be able to see things and not report issues.

That is an interesting idea.
However, when I edit the anonymous user, there are no projects in the "unassigned projects" list. I checked, it's the same with all other users.
I must be missing something here...

I'll look into that, but you could try to approach it from the Manage Project angle. At the bottom of the page, there is a user list, and you can re-assign access levels there.

That worked wonderfully.
I had to add the anonymous user again in the list to actually update its status, but it worked fine.
