I need ideas for adding 'private' notes to a project for Admin users only

Added by Lynn Thames almost 10 years ago

I've tried searching for ideas and found one idea, which works. But I'd like to see if someone has a better idea.

Let me explain what we are using the information for so it might give you a 'spark'. The information will be used to record connection information for a project (FTP, cpanel, database access, etc). I want the information to be readily available but only for project managers.

The idea I've tried was to add an issue to the project and mark the issue as 'private'. I added my 'notes' to the description area of the issue.

This technically works, but the solution is not ideal for a few reasons.
1 - the notes show up in the issues list . . . and if this list gets larger it can be hard to 'find' this information quickly.
2 - I added a link to the issue to the project overview for faster access, but the link shows for everyone . . and they just get permission denied if they try to access it.

This is certainly a 'livable' solution but if there is a better idea I would love to hear it.

We are on version 2.5?

Thanks so much!
