Description

I'll try to explain my need with a sample.
Suppose you have Users, Area Manager and Programmers.
The Users can open a new issue and input same fieds (and only these) as Subject, Description and Priority.
The Area managers can change the status (only specific values) and category.
The Programmers can change the status to close and specify the date.
In other words, I would like to separate the capability to input each field accordin to the role.
Is it a way ?
I try to do this using a different tracker for each role but people can choose the tracker independently from his role, so it doesn't work.

Thanks a lot !

Please take a look in your administrative section under the menu point "workflow". There are two tabs. The first tab defines which role can switch from which status to another status. You can do this per tracker. On the other tab, you can choose which field is read only. Read only fields won't appear on the issue update form.

Thanks Daniel. I tried using the workflow, but I can't solve my problem because people can choose the tracker: in other words, I can't 'fix' a tracker for User, another one for Area Manager and another one for Programmers. It would work fine if I can specify that people with User role can use only User tracker, so they can work only with status and field specified in the tabs: but I can't do it, isn't it ?
Thanks again !
P.S: I'm using Bitnami Redmine on Windows

Well you can do it. Just remove all other tracker configuration in workflows for these users.

Thanks Daniel. If I'm not wrong people managing issues can choose one of all the tracker even if the administrator doesn't specify Status transictions and Field permissions for a Role-tracker in workflow (I can't remove unwanted Tracker for the role, right ?). If I could limit the list of tracker to only the tracker when a Status transiction or a Field Perrmission has been setted, it would be the optimal solution.
My target is to fix in same way a Tracker for a Role.
Thanks again a lot for yout support and patience.

Hi there,

a small massupload. Please take a look at the form_* screenshots.

If this is the behaviour you try to do. Take a look at the *_workflow_* screenshots
