Unable to add watcher who is not a member of the project
Added by Daniel Hochman almost 11 years ago.
Updated about 6 years ago.
Resolution:
Cant reproduce
Description
The feature described in #5159 (Ability to add Non-Member watchers to the watch list) is confirmed as not working in Redmine 2.3.1 and 2.3.3
You can only add people who are members of the given project.
- Status changed from New to Needs feedback
- Resolution set to Cant reproduce
I added some tests and tests pass.
I cannot reproduce on r12396.
My guess is the bug only happens with specific project or perhaps role settings.
Our projects are public and the members all have the same role. There is a role in our Redmine called Non Member and almost all permissions are checked for that role. I don't see an option for the non-member role of "Add as Watcher" I do see "Add watchers" which is checked.
If the non-member opens the issues themselves they can click on the "Watch" link with no issue. However, the auto-complete add watcher function does not display non-member.
We are also using "Watchers Textinput plugin" but I recall disabling that and I also had the issue.
Other people have reported this issue as well so we are not alone... (see #5159)
- Status changed from Needs feedback to Closed
Please open a new issue if you still experience this problem with the latest version of Redmine.
