I have a Redmine installation and would like the ability to grant a user

  • 0

I have a Redmine installation and would like the ability to grant a user the ability to view (and maybe update) a single issue (not all issues in the project). The catch is that the issue is reported by someone else.

Use Case:
Users A,B, and admin C

  1. admin C creates two bug reports 1 and 2
  2. admin C wants to grant view access to user A on bug 1
  3. admin C wants to grant view access to user B on bug 2
  4. User A should not be able to access bug2
  5. User B should not be able to access bug1

Can this be done with Redmine? I have been messing around with the settings, but I don’t see an easy way to accomplish this use case.

If not, are there other bug trackers that do allow for such a use case?

    You cannot assign view permissions on single issues in redmine.

    From the top of my head, you may use one of the following approaches in your scenario:

    • If you have only a limited number of users, you may be able to add different trackers (ACIssues and BCIssues), create two roles (AC and BC), associate user A and C with role AC, user B and C with role BC, and set permissions so that role AC has access to ACIssues, and role BC has access to BCIssues.
    • Private issues work the way you describe if issue 1 is assigned to user A, and issue 2 is assigned to user B.
