12828 - Anyone can change a "new" bug to "Assigned" to someone else

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 25273

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect, P3)

Description

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

I was viewing someone else's bug in the NEW state. Forgetting it was assigned
to someone else I selected "Accept" and hit the commit button. The bug changed
to the ASSIGNED state, still for that other person.

I would expect either
 - don't allow use of "accept" in this case
 - make it a shortcut for "reassign to me, then accept"

Don--would this be covered by the permissions stuff?

Comment 3

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

I think only the person to whom it is assigned should be able to make the 
status ASSIGNED, no need for complicated permissions. Unless you take my second 
idea about making it a shortcut for reassign-and-accept in which case you'd 
need whatever level of permission checking to allow reassignments.

dveditz, are you saying (example) that if a bug was a "New" to rickg and I 
wanted to set "Assigned" to karnaze per rickg's request, I could not do it?  
rickg would have to do it?  Cause that would not fly. Eng Mgrs, PDT, etc need to 
be able to reassign during bug triaging.  Is this what you want?  Can you give 
me an example?
