Description

The simple 1 user = 1 role is fine for basic deployments, but to enable more advanced issue workflows, it would be helpful to be able to associate more than one role with a user.
For example, we could define the following roles:
  • Issue reporter (the user who raised the issue)
  • Triager
  • Developer
  • Reviewer
  • Tester
  • Manager
    Most of these roles do not overlap (although the Manager role is clearly more privileged than the others). However, in an Agile environment, the Developer is also a Reviewer (for another Developer's issues), and may also be a Tester (for another Developer's issues or for their own).

So, in that case the "developer" user needs to have the Developer, Reviewer and Tester roles. The "team leader" user would likely be a Developer, but also a Triager, a Reviewer and a Tester.

We'd like this functionality too... we're seeing the same situation. Thanks!

This feature would be very needful to us (NSN) since our project members are often in multiple roles. Thanks in advance!

Another vote for this feature :-)

At the moment we have to use combined roles like 'Developer-Tester' which makes workflow management quite complex/time-consuming (ie. tracker-types x statii x roles!)

+1, currently we create roles such as "Project mgr and Key account mgr" instead of assigning two roles.

+1, we really need that feature.
First of all, thanks for the great work! Redmine is for sure the best Project Management Environment I had used. Currently we have around 50 projects, we are working using SCRUM, therefore some of the people are at the same moment SCRUM Master, Project Manager etc.
Is it planned to deliver multiple roles feature in upcoming versions?
