Redmine plugin: view issue description

This plugin adds the possibility to limit the visibility of issue descriptions, based on role permissions and selected trackers.
The main goal is to limit the visibility for external users (e.g., customers), without hiding an essential issue overview and issue related information.

Long story short, without the new view_issue_description permission, a user cannot enter an issue or view its description.
An exception is made for issues where the user is the assigned user.

Some extra features have been added, to improve the general usability.

Features

  1. Project module issue_tracking has an extended permission: view_issue_description
  2. Project module project has extended permission:
    • view_activities
    • view_activities_global
  3. API calls on issues have been extended with:
    • repository information if set include=changesets_new
    • helpdesk_ticket information if the RedmineUP helpdesk plugin is installed.
    • Set include=journal_messages,journals for helpdesk journals.
