}
}
Example response for authenticated user:

"mailfrom" : "bugzilla-daemon@example.com",
"maintainer" : "admin@example.com",
"maxattachmentsize" : "1000",

"musthavemilestoneonaccept" : "0",
"noresolveonopenblockers" : "0",
"password_complexity" : "no_constraints",
"rememberlogin" : "on",

"useqacontact" : "1",
"usestatuswhiteboard" : "1",
"usetargetmilestone" : "1",
}
}
A logged-out user can only access the maintainer
and requirelogin
parameters.
A logged-in user can access the following parameters (listed alphabetically):
- allowemailchange
- attachment_base
- commentonchange_resolution
- commentonduplicate
- cookiepath
- defaultopsys
- defaultplatform
- defaultpriority
- defaultseverity
- duplicate_or_move_bug_status
- emailregexpdesc
- emailsuffix
- letsubmitterchoosemilestone
- letsubmitterchoosepriority
- mailfrom
- maintainer
- maxattachmentsize
- maxlocalattachment
- musthavemilestoneonaccept
- noresolveonopenblockers
- password_complexity
- rememberlogin
- requirelogin
- search_allow_no_criteria
- urlbase
- use_see_also
- useclassification
- usemenuforusers
- useqacontact
- usestatuswhiteboard
- usetargetmilestone
A user in the tweakparams group can access all existing parameters. New parameters can appear or obsolete parameters can disappear depending on the version of Bugzilla and on extensions being installed. The list of parameters returned by this method is not stable and will never be stable.
