reported by: Christian Krause <chkr> Hi, since updating bugzilla.redhat.com to a new bugzilla version I cannot create external bug references to bugs not created by myself anymore. I've used this feature quite often to add links to upstream bug reports. Please can the permissions be adjusted so that the old behavior is restored? This would be great. Thanks! Best regards, Christian
Created attachment 313302 [details] v1 patch to allow all logged in users to update external bugs on any bug Bugzilla 2.18 used to allow all logged in users to update external bug links for any bug, where as in 3.2 we only allow that for users who are related to the bugs. Attached is a patch to change the restriction on updating a bug from being related to the bug to only being logged in to bugzilla. Please review when you can. Thanks, Noura
please note that the patch has been applied to bz-web2 if you would like to test it there.
Comment on attachment 313302 [details] v1 patch to allow all logged in users to update external bugs on any bug Although I disagree that this change should be allowed by anyone who is not related to the bug or in the 'editbugs' groups, I suppose we need to allow it if this is old 2.18 behaviour. We should leave this bug though to allow further discussion about this. Since external references IMO are a basic bug attribute it should fall under the same restrictions as all othe bug attributes.

thanks for the review Dave, committed to cvs
