Description Mira Ressel 2015-12-14 16:01:07 UTC
Permissions for non-developers seem to be a bit over-restrictive. In particular, I'm unable to change the bug status of bugs assigned to me to CONFIRMED or IN_PROGRESS; only UNCONFIRMED and RESOLVED are possible.

Has this changed lately? I remember having set bugs to IN_PROGRESS in the past.

Nothing has changed. What bug # are you referring to?
Comment 2 Mira Ressel 2015-12-14 16:30:24 UTC
I'm referring to #567762. I don't think I've ever been able to set bugs to CONFIRMED, this seems to be restricted to developers; but I've set bugs to IN_P in the past.

But even if nothing has changed lately, perhaps it's time to change it now? It's understandable that non-devs aren't allowed to mess with random bugs, but surely the should have control over their own bugs?

If I read the permission checking code correctly, assignees should be able to change the bug status. Why that doesn't take effect, I can't figure out quickly.

When you're working as a proxy maintainer you should ask a developer you're in touch with about editbugs.
