Description of problem: If a user was disable, it should not be allowed to set the user as the default QA contact/Assignee/Doc Contact in component edit page. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.0.2.rh2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login with admin account 2. Disable a user: User1 3. Go to Administrator-->product->components 4. Set the disabled user as the default QA contact/Assignee/Doc Contact for the component Actual results: It is allowed to add disabled user as the defualt QA contact/Assignee/Doc Contact for the component Expected results: It should't be allowed to add disabled user as the defualt QA contact/Assignee/Doc Contact for the component Additional info:
I think this is intended behaviour. Mailing-list accounts should be disabled (cannot login) but are frequently used as the default assignee and/or default QE contact as a shorthand for 'unassigned'. (The Bugzilla product itself uses mailing lists as the default Assignee and QE contact, but these are not currently disabled, which I believe is an error. I've filed a ticket to correct that in https://engineering.redhat.com/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=396558.)
Thanks Jason's explanation.
