60769 - Make bugs in a particular component always confidential

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 139724

(Bugzilla :: Administration, task, P3)

Description

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

I need to make bugs in a particular component be always confidential to a 
particular group. This is for the hixie.ch bugzilla instance.

Comment 1

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

Will work on this asap.

Comment 2

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

ok, "ASAP" isn't going to happen. I have no time left for this kind of work.

Comment 3

[Jacob Steenhagen]

This is part of what I proposed in bug 39816... hopefully it can make it into
the 2.14 security release.

Can someone expand on what the intent of this bug is?

Comment 5

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

it's been another week with no response...  I'd love to write a patch for this
or include it with one of the other patches, but I still have no clue what you
want here.  Hixie, you filed this bug, can you explain it in more detail?

Reassigning to Ian and off 2.14's radar.  This is really an enhancement with a
current workaround of putting said componants into their own group.  If there's
a strong desire (and more specific information) we can throw it into the 2.16
bucket.

Sorry about this dropping off my radar.

The RFE is that when I file a bug in component X, I want it to (by default) be
set to be confidential for (only visible by) group Y.

Tara's comments suggest this is already possible; is it?

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Yes, but by product, not by component.  Turn on the "usebuggroupsentry" param and 
create a group whose short name matches the name of your product that you want to 
be confidential.  The option is still given to the filing user to make the bug 
public, but the box for that product group is checked by default.  Also, the user 
has to be a member of that product group to be able to file bugs against it.

Comment 9

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

ok, breaking the dependency.  No clue what this had to do with bug 39816.  This
isn't about specific people seeing confidential bugs, it's about being able to
make a bug confidential by default by component (rather than by product like it
is now).

[Andreas Franke (gone)]

-> Bugzilla product, Administration component.

Comment 11

[Joel Peshkin]

Hixie:

   Please look over bug 147275 and see if....

(a) The model there addresses your need
(b) The model there would address your need if it were possible to do this by
component as well as by product.
(c) It is a clean miss.

Thanks

That bug is huge, what specifically am I looking for?

Comment 13

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Reassigning bugs that I'm not actively working on to the default component owner
in order to try to make some sanity out of my personal buglist.  This doesn't
mean the bug isn't being dealt with, just that I'm not the one doing it.  If you
are dealing with this bug, please assign it to yourself.
