Who should be able to change the severity of the issue

Right now the person entering the issue can set or change the severity of the issue.
What I want is that only a manager or administrator should be able to change the severity of the issue - not the person who is a developer or tester or updater be able to change the severity of the bug.

AFAIK this is not possible out of the box.
There are already many comparable options available for such kind of customization, for example search for $g_update_bug_status_threshold in the source code.
What you need is a configuration option like
$g_update_bug_severity_threshold = <Role>
If you have some PHP skills, this should not be a huge problem to adapt this for severity.
Enter a feature requeuest in the MantisBT tracker for this.
Furthermore, if you developed your own solution, please add it as an attachment.

You are absolutely correct.

$g_update_bug_severity_threshold = <Role>
I have no experience in PHP but I have been a programmer in the past. I hope I will be able to track the $g_update_bug_status_threshold variable and do the same for above. I will definitely post a solution if I succeed.
Would you be able to tell me what files of Mantis should I look at? I am only familiar with following files:
config_inc.php
config_defaults_inc.php
php.ini
config_local.php
Are there any other files you expect should change for this feature?
