external users can create issues, but don't receive notifications
Added by Travis Burrell almost 11 years ago
We recently updated from 1.4.3 & are now running 2.3.1. Notifications is set to "only things I watch or I'm involved in." The non-member role is able to view & add issues, along with add notes.
External (non-member?) users are able to send emails to the system, and have issues created for those emails in a specific tracker (unknown_user=create no_permission_check=1 no_account_notice=1). The problem is that these users do not then receive email notifications when the issue is updated.
Additionally, if a watcher is added to an issue, and the watcher is not a part of the project, they do not receive notifications of issue updates (we have installed Extended Watchers).
Any account that is already a project member receives notifications normally. I'm guessing that between 1.x > 2.x something changed with permissions that we need to tweak....?
I think we've figured it out.
- in order for project non members to create issues (via email), params need to be set according to cron job (above)
- in order for project non-members to get notifications on their issues and be added as watchers:
- extended watchers needs to be installed
- projects need to be listed as "public"
- in order for anonymous people to not be able to browse projects via the web interface, all permissions were removed from the "anonymous" role, save for "view wiki"
