Description Chris Adams 2006-08-22 18:37:24 UTC 
I opened bug 202584 in RH Bugzilla.  It was closed NOTABUG, and now I am unable
to reopen it.  When I try, I get:

  Not allowed

  You tried to change the Status field from CLOSED to NEW, but only the
  owner or submitter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user, may
  change that field.

I am the submitter, so I don't know why this fails (possibly I'm blocked for
some other reason, but the error message should tell that then).
Comment 1 David Lawrence 2006-08-22 18:53:02 UTC 
This is the case for bugs under the RHEL Bugzilla products as yours was. Only RH
enabled accounts can reopen the bugs. Please leave a comment stating that you
need the bug reopened and the bug owner should oblige.
Comment 2 Chris Adams 2006-08-22 19:29:14 UTC 
Okay, thanks.  As I was opening this I thought about that.  Maybe the error
message could be clarified?
