From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040115 Description of problem: Under Preferences->permissions, I see that I have the 'canconfirm' bit set. I cannot, however, confirm bugs. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Go to Preferences->Permissions. Observe. Try to confirm a NEW bug. The option to do so isn't ever available.
I can only change my own bugs.
this is expected behaviour. The canconfirm permission is a left over from the upstream bugzilla source which initially puts new bugs in a UNCONFIRMED state. People with the canconfirm perm can put bugs from UNCONFIRMED to NEW. We instead put them staight into a NEW state. After that only people with editbugs perms or the reporter can edit the report (minus adding a comment or adding self to cc list). I have removed the canconfirm permission to avoid confusion since this is the first time the topic has come up.
