Watchers Alerted To Changes But Cannot See Issues (potentially)

Description
At our company we try to keep things private so user A cannot see tickets from user B. With this in mind, I set the Issues Visibility setting for all user groups to be the assigned to or created by me value. This has the draw back that if I add a watcher because it may not directly implicate that person but they need to be kept in the loop (e.g. supervisor/boss), they would get the email updates but can't see the issue within Redmine itself.
So I added two more options to the Issue Visibility dropdown:
- Created by, Assigned to, or watched by the user
- Created by, Assigned to, watched by, or contributed to by the user
The contributed to just looks at the journals of the issues to see if you've modified the issue in some way (meaning you now have a vested interest in the issue).
Attached is the patch I developed against the core of 2.2.3. I haven't tested it in the 3.x line yet, but hope to soon.
Hopefully this could be wrapped into 2.2.5 or the next 3.x release.

Good idea, thank you for your patch!
Updated by Brett Patterson over 11 years ago
I've sent this patch in as a pull request to the github repo. The patch above should work on the 2.3.x branch. The only difference are line numbers might be off slightly.

I know github isn't the official way, but I'm still hopeful this will be integrated.

I can confirm the patch works with 2.4.1. I manually did the patching, but the same changes do work.

I tested right now a patch derived from Takenori TAKAKI's one allow_watchers_and_contributers_access_to_issues_trunk_r15287.patch
but since i have a 2.3.0 stable, I have arranged it and I provide it here as allow_watchers_and_contributers_access_to_issues_3.2.0.patch it have some little differences.
apply it with -p1 to avoid errors:
# cd /my/redmine/root/dir/2.3.0-stable # ls -d vendor app extra lib bin config README.rdoc app bin config extra lib README.rdoc vendor # patch -p1 < /somewhere/allow_watchers_and_contributers_access_to_issues_3.2.0.patch
I didn't run test functions, sorry.
Thank you for this patch and candidate for next release. We are getting a good experience with redmine as a new tool in company: this functionality is absolutely important for us.

Updated by Peter Brogren almost 8 years ago
We agree that this is functionality that should get merged in, as soon as possible. On the subject of confusing, we believe it is very confusing for someone to get the notification as a watcher but then not be able to log in and see the issue. We do use a modified patch of this and frequently use the method of adding someone as a watcher as a way to allow ("invite") someone to see what happens with a certain private (secret!) issue, i.e. get the email notifications AND be able to log in and see the issue. If such person then decides to "unwatch" the issue, it seems OK with everyone that you no longer get the emails AND are no longer able to see the issue. After all you decided to "unwatch" the issue, i.e. you specifically said you don't want to see (watch) it anymore! Please merge at the earliest convenience!

I'm not sure, this has been a while.
But visiting my .bash_history file showed me this:
cp 14318-allow_watchers_and_contributers_access_to_issues_3.4.2.patch redmine-3.4/ cd redmine-3.4/ patch -p0 --dry-run < 14318-allow_watchers_and_contributers_access_to_issues_3.4.2.patch patch -p0 < 14318-allow_watchers_and_contributers_access_to_issues_3.4.2.patch
So looks like I installed it from the redmine root directory and first tried it with a dry-run.

Awesome work!
Testing Redmine 4.0 right now, and this patch is something we could really use.
The patch worked, but with a couple of minor changes.
First, in the issue.rb file user.groups.map(&:id) should be user.groups.pluck(:id).
Second, there are a couple of line number mismatches, but that can be easily fixed using fuzz:

Hi!
Do you have any updated information about the patch in 4.0.2? I would like to install it and try.
Is this the right way i can install it?: patch -p0 -F3 < filename?
Can I uninstall this patch if i needed?
Does this patch effect the further redmine upgrade process?
Do you find any bug related to this patch?
Thanks,

This patch seems work only on public projects.

Apply with the below commands.

Updated by Jonathan Griffon about 3 years ago
due to Patch #3329 and new Feature #4511, list of users in Add watcher button does not list potential watchers.
Patch need to check if Issues Visibility is defined as "watched by the user" in all user list
It's only for version 4.2.x
I think problem is under app/models/principal.rb with a new class assignable_watchers which is filtering users but I don't understand how.
I'm sure this is this class because of change in app/controlers/watchers_controller.rb in function users_for_new_watcher old versions list users with @project.users and now it's with @project.principals.assignable_watchers
I worked around the problem by resetting the call to the list of all users in watchers_controller.rb but the groups functionality no longer works (see my patch in attached file)
Updated by Rolf Wojtech about 3 years ago
I can confirm Jonathan's issue with the 4.2.2 patch. I have not tried his workaround yet.
Maybe it is time to migrate away from the somewhat dirty patching towards this plugin:
https://github.com/maxrossello/redmine_extended_watchers
(found in #8488)
Has anyone done this step already and experiences to share here?
