Summary | 0006983: Permission problems in Kali bugtracker | ||||
Description | Haven't found any better fitting category so had chosen "Kali Websites & Docs". I have noticed that you seems to have some permission problems in this bug tracker for the standard "Reporter" account. For example reporters can "Clone" an issue like happen in e.g. #6912 (clone of 0006903) or #6960 / 0006962 (clone 0006907) plus many additional ones, i don't think that such "Reporters" should have the possibility to Clone existing issues. In addition e.g. "Reporters" can report an issue in the "Queued Tool Addition" category like seen in 0006981:0014079, this probably should be prevented by setting stricter permissions to that category. On the other hand there are too strict permissions and reporters can't even edit their own comments / issues and also can't close them on their own. | ||||
TLDR; Suggestions for the permissions of the "Reporter" level:
|
|
Aaaaaand, it happened again: #7096, #7095, #7094 which are all three wrongly done clones of 0007044 You should really really rework your permissions, at least for the "Reporter" level. |
|
#7097 is also a clone of 0007068 done by the same user... |
|
And another one: #0007103 |
|
Why are you also allow reporters to change the severity to e.g. intermediate? If anyone can set their own priorities anyone thinks the own bugreport is the most important one. |
|
I would gladly configure mantis to avoid those problems, in fact I already tried... but there's no option to control who can clone. If you can report a bug, then you can clone. You might want to open a feature request to the upstream project. I'm not sure if there's a setting to limit who can change the priority either. |

Ive tried to reduce what options we have enabled, but yeah, this is something that needs to go upstream https://mantisbt.org/support.php |
