Hi,

I'm looking for a cheap method that would mimic a "canaddcomment" group.  The intent is that only certain folks are allowed to add comments to a bugzilla tickets tied to a specific product group.  Folks on the CC list are not allowed to add comments unless they are in the "canaddcomment" group.  Ideally if a person is not in the "canaddcomment", they also don't have "canedit" privs for that ticket. 

Main goal is treat some tickets more as an announcement tickets, almost like a "blog". 

Thanks,
Albert

Reproducible: Always

Why don't you use the CANEDIT bit of products to restrict who can comment on bugs? I don't see why you would need another group to do this.

/me will probably mark this bug as WFM or WONTFIX.

Thanks Frederic.  I confused the CANEDIT bit with the EDITBUGS group.  This almost works for me.  But I would like anybody to add themselves to the CC list, so that they can get track the ticket.

Confirming for now as it's a valid request and I understand your point, but maybe we won't implement it. I don't know yet.
