Feature #5037
closed
Role-based issue custom field visibility
0%
Description
It would be nice to define some kind of view permission for fields in issues. For example, when you define a new custom field you should define also wich role can view this field.
The implementation of #337 should open the way for implementing this feature too.

+1 For role based custom fields. This is important, because there is information we as developers don't want to share with everybody else. For example organization heads are not interested in seeing information about technical aspect of the issue?

+1 on this, would be a nice improvement, and not overly complex.

Should not be restricted to "custom fields" of course, but to all fields of an issue.

Being able to "hide" certain fields (including not custom fields) for certain roles would be much appreciated.
Also mail updates, reports (pdf) and feeds should not carry hidden fields for the roles for which they have been hidden.

Well, this feature planned for 2.4.0 is about custom fields only. Being able to hide some standard fields would be a bit trickier and might be added later, sorry.

OK, Should I create a new feature request for it then?

Sure, and thanks for the feedback!

- update the issue custom field form in order to select roles that can see the field
- update the issue view (HTML, PDF, API) to hide hidden custom fields, including in the issue history (custom fields changes)
- update the issue form to exclude hidden custom fields
- completely exclude custom fields from the issue list (columns/filters) if they are not visible by the user on any projects
- update the issue list (HTML, PDF, CSV, API) to hide hidden custom fields values per row (on the cross-project list, the user might be able to see custom fields for some projects but not for some other projects, depending on his roles on these projects)
- when filtering or grouping the issue list by a custom field, exclude issues for which the custom is not visible
- same thing for the time entries list (where issue custom fields can be displayed/filtered)
- update the search engine so that it doesn't look up in searchable custom fields that are not visible
- update the email notification system so that each user receives an email with only visible custom field (need to change message-ids since multiple emails might now be sent for the same event)
- when updating an issue by just changing custom fields values, don't notify users that can't see these custom fields
Please let me know if I'm missing something.

Jean-Philippe: maybe also consider Custom Queries:
- don't offer the custom fields that are hidden in "custom queries" (queries/new) "Add filter" option
- hide Custom Queries which include filtering by some custom field which is hidden
I wonder if it isn't worth to also consider the "regular fields" at the same time, because you will have to touch all those different areas anyway. Or at least prepare an API for it, to make it easier to later hide "regular fields" (maybe someone could then write a plugin to do so).
From the regular fields there are some "special ones" which shouldn't be hideable, i.e. "Status", "Tracker", "Parent Task" and "Subject".

Feature added in r12013. You can now limit the visibility issue custom field to certain roles.

Done
- hide Custom Queries which include filtering by some custom field which is hidden
That would involve too much logic for filtering custom queries. Instead, custom queries can now be made visible to certain roles only (#1019 added for 2.4.0). A user that would be able to display a custom query with fields that are not visible to him wouldn't see them anyway. Queries always take care to show visibile fields only.

CustomField#visible_by? seems to be implemented in IssueCustomField only, did you mean to implement a default one in CustomField?

dude, read the ticket! It's planned for the next version 2.4.0!
2.3.x releases only contain bugfixes and never any new features...
Updated by Sebastian Sp about 11 years ago
Hello,
thanks a lot for quick release! I found a bug regarding this new feature:
When you add custom fields with option "required", the role-based feature does not work correctly. The fields are not displayed, but the validation routine makes the ticket unsaveable.
Regards,
Sebastian

Hi there,
is there a chance to have the feature also for non-issue related custom fields, like "Spent time"? Would be very useful.
Thanks,
Stefan
