Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hi,

I had the chance to discover mantis for our organization, it's realy nice and we would like to customize the workflow and the access controls.
I've managed to define a custom workflow for all roles which are defined in mantis and would like to be able to define new roles like "Senjor-Developer" and allow her to change the statuses according to some custom rules.

Lets say: the "Manager" shall be able to change all statuses and the "Senjor-Developer" must NOT be allowed to report or close a bug and the "DEVELOPER" is only allowed to set the statuses from "opened" to "tested" or "reviewed".

Now my questions:

Is it possible to define "Senjor-Developer" as a role?

Is it possible to manage the Status-Transitions via roles (ACL's)?

Is it possible to do this things without any custom php programming?

Thanks for any hints in advance
Best regards

Yes, it is. See http://manual.mantisbt.org/manual.custo ... ations.php for an example of how to do this.

Some of this is possible. There is a configuration variable $g_set_status_threshold that controls what access level may move an issue to a particular status. For example:

$g_set_status_threshold = array( ACKNOWLEDGED => MANAGER, CONFIRMED => DEVELOPER, CLOSED => MANAGER );

Implies that only managers can acknowledge or close an issue, where developers can confirm it. Those status values not listed default to $g_update_bug_status_threshold (default UPDATER).
