The reporters I have assigned to my private project see only the bugs that they have posted themselves; I want them to see the bugs that other reporters have already posted. I have not changed the default that would select this behavior if ON:
For environment details, please see my post in General Discussions with same title as this, but under the thread Limiting a user's access and viewing to a specific project (posted by jkpalmer52).
Sorry for the cross post. I thought the existing thread was a good fit, but I didn't originally notice that it was in General Discussions. It doesn't seem to have been noticed there, so I think I should have originally posted in Help because that is what I need!
Yes the project view status is private and the individual issues are indeed private as well. If I were to make the individual issues in a private project public, would that allow the manually-added project reporters to see them, but still hide the issues from users in general?
If so, is there a way to default the individual issues to be public in a private project?
Please, clarify if there are these two levels of privacy, project and issues, as I haven't been able to glean this from the manual.

1. Allow only reporters added explictly to see issues related to the project - mark the project as private.
2. Allow reporters manually added to the project to view their own as well as other reporters' issues (except for the ones explictly marked as private) - Set the default issue view status to VS_PUBLIC and mark the issues you currently have in the project as VS_PUBLIC.
The following command will create the issues in the private project as public by default, this means that reporters manually added to the project will see them, but not the reporters that don't have access to the project.
# Default Bug View Status (VS_PUBLIC or VS_PRIVATE)
$g_default_bug_view_status = VS_PUBLIC;
