Please help with permissions, statuses and files
Added by Eugen Culicov 4 months ago
I decided to switch from freedcamp to openproject, but I can't set everything up correctly :(
I created an empty project, and one member (besides the admin) and added it to the project.
Created a couple of Tasks and assigned this user.
I need him to be able to change the status of the task (for example, put that it is in progress), and add notes and files in the comments to the task. But the user should not change the task itself (its description, priority, etc.)
Problem #1
Member cannot change Task status:
No settings in the workflow helped, even if I activate everything at all.
The only way a user can change the status is if I enable work package editing, but then he can edit everything in the task. Not only statuses.
How to configure so that the member can change the status of the task, but not the task itself?
Problem #2
Same thing with files. Member can add files to comments only if “Edit work packages” is enabled. Screenshot with disabled "edit" option:
Permissions. I enabled everything related to the files:
Here is an example with the option “Edit work packages” enabled:
How to configure so that a member can add files to the task, but not change the task itself?

Hi Eugen Culicov,
Regarding problem 1:
There is no separation of allowing to update the status or the title and description. Once you are allowed to update the status you are always allowed to change the title and the description. In other words: Your scenario describes a missing feature in OpenProject.
Regarding problem 2:
If a user doesn't have the permission the edit a work package she also doesn't have the permission to add files/attachments. The logic is that adding a file is changing the work package. Adding a file to a comment actually adds it to the work package and then references it in the comment.
