Hello forum,
is it possible to forbid issue assignment to admins (in certain projects)?
I set up our internal Mantis and need admin rights to create users etc. We also have a bunch of developers with developer rights. Unfortunately people keep assigning me their issues instead assigning them to the responsible developers.
Can I somehow lock myself and my other admin colleagues out of certain projects? I didn't find any related setting, if I see it correct the admins are available everywhere...

Re: Forbid issue assignment to admins
Select the project you want to configure in the project selection dropdown
Goto Page "Manage" > "Manage Configuration" > "Workflow Thresholds"
Disable checkbox in row "Handle an issue", column "Administrator"
Click "Update Configuration"

Re: Forbid issue assignment to admins
That was exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
Is it maybe also possible to configure this on a user level, or is this only possible on the access role level?

Re: Forbid issue assignment to admins
Based on user level is not possible by configuration.
IMO it would not make that much sense.
You might want to create an additional access level for that (or use an existing one), remove the right to "Handle an issue" from that access level and give these specific user(s) the new access level.

Re: Forbid issue assignment to admins
Yes, I think I need to create a custom access level.
I appreciate your help, thank you. One last question - I promise
I am experimenting with a custom access level higher than administrator. But I don't think that's possible, right?
In this example testrole1 works fine, but testrole2 is only available in the projects and can't be assigned to users:
$g_access_levels_enum_string = '10:viewer,25:reporter,40:updater,55:developer,70:manager,85:testrole1,90:administrator,95:testrole2';
Ideally I would like to have a custom access level with full administrator rights.

Re: Forbid issue assignment to admins
Access level higher than administrator should be possible.
But be aware that you can't assign an access level that is higher than your own one.
