No Bug reporting in toplevel projects

libregeek · Post by **libregeek** » 25 Oct 2007, 12:10

Hello,
Is it possible to have projects in which we cannot post any bugs? In my organization we have a hierarchy of projects and we don't need people to report bugs in the toplevel projects. This is something like the Sticky feature in a forum. Is this feature available in mantis-1.1?

Also it may be useful to have a hierarchical permission system, in which if a user is allowed permission to a top-level project, the permissions are inherited to all the corresponding sub-projects.

regards

Yes and no. No you can't block the report page but you can verify that the bug is not in a forbidden project.
Look here: http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/dok ... eport_here.

For those projects that you don't want people to have 'write' access to, why don't you just set the 'report' access level to 'administrator' or something similar?

Hello,
I tried deboutv's suggestion and it works for me. But there is one issue. The application throws an error code #9002 when trying to add issues on the top-level projects, But it really doesn't display the error message even though the $MANTIS_ERROR array is populated with the error code in custom_strings_inc.php.
