This is related to user-based or role-based settings such as the "Email notifications" in "My account" and the "Issues visibility" in "Roles and permissions".
If there are other settings that I have overlooked, then this should also apply to those cases as appropriate.

Overview¶

Propose that these settings ("Email notifications" in "My account" and the "Issues visibility" in "Roles and permissions") be changed to a checkbox format, so as to allow more resolution/flexibility.

i.e...

Email Notifications¶

Current¶

---

Proposed¶

In the form of checkboxes or similar execution:

Events		Projects
For things I watch		For all my projects
For things I am assigned to		For selected projects only
For things I am an owner of

This also eliminates the need for "For all events" and "for events I'm involved in" because selecting a combination (or all) of the options from the "Events" options is equivalent.

Issues Visibility¶

Current¶

---

Proposed¶

In the form of checkboxes or similar execution:

Issues
Private Issues
Issues Created by User
Issues Assigned to User
Issues Watched by User

---

---

These options are a step in the right direction to provide much more flexibility to the users for those particular settings (and potentially others that I may have missed).

Ideal/Wow¶

Another option (ideal?) would be to allow multiple permutations of the selections per User or per Role.
e.g.
being able to select multiple email notification settings such as:
"For things that I watch; for selected projects (project1, project2)"
"For things I created; for selected projects (project2, project3)"
"For things I'm assigned to; for selected all projects"
for a single user.
This could be achieved with a "add/remove" new rule type of method.
