Re: [Mantisbt-dev] How to make new mantis access levels - sorry for posting again

[Julian F. <ju...@be...>]

Hi Andreas,

I've been putting off answering this because I don't really have time to 
look up all the names and stuff for you and I was hoping somebody else 
would reply.  But since nobody has I'll answer in general terms.

You ideally shouldn't have to change any methods.  Most of what you need 
can be accomplished by tweaking the preferences in config_inc.php. 
You'll need to change the language files in lang/ to either rename a 
user level to Tester, or to add a new one (if you add a new one, you'll 
have to add a new one in the config file and probably add a #define in 
core/constant_inc.php).

You can set the threshold for users who can be assigned to to your new 
tester level in the config file as well.  The only hard part would be 
limiting developers so they can only set bugs to certain statuses as we 
don't have any support for that.  If you really need that feature you'll 
have to get down into the code for that, and I'm not sure exactly where 
you'd want to do that.  Possibly just in the bug_update.php page itself?

Hope that's some help,

Julian
