Who Can Change What
|
|
###################
|
|
|
|
Companies often have rules about which employees, or classes of employees,
|
|
are allowed to change certain things in the bug system. For example,
|
|
only the bug's designated QA Contact may be allowed to VERIFY the bug.
|
|
Bugzilla has been
|
|
designed to make it easy for you to write your own custom rules to define
|
|
who is allowed to make what sorts of value transition.
|
|
|
|
By default, assignees, QA owners and users
|
|
with *editbugs* privileges can edit all fields of bugs,
|
|
except group restrictions (unless they are members of the groups they
|
|
are trying to change). Bug reporters also have the ability to edit some
|
|
fields, but in a more restrictive manner. Other users, without
|
|
*editbugs* privileges, cannot edit
|
|
bugs, except to comment and add themselves to the CC list.
|
|
|
|
Because this kind of change is such a common request, we have added a
|
|
specific hook for it that :ref:`extensions` can call. It's called
|
|
``bug_check_can_change_field``, and it's documented `in the Hooks
|
|
documentation <http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/api/Bugzilla/Hook.html#bug_check_can_change_field>`_.
