Re: [Mantisbt-help] Is it possible to give exclusive permissions to a type of user

[Glenn H. <thr...@ma...>]

  This is possible with the new threshold code in 1.0.0. You should be able
to define a new access level (client). You can then make "client" the only
level that can do some things using the syntax:

  $g_some_threshold = array( CLIENT );

You can also do this through the new UI where available. (Note, I would
still give ADMINISTRATOR permissions to do everything. It's nice to be able
to undo what someone accidentally did without resorting to an SQL editor).
