## Description

**As** an OpenProject user  
**I want** to be able to limit the visibility of work packages to users and groups which I specify  
**so that** I can have private work packages.

**Acceptance criteria**

*   Restrict WorkPackage visibility by role, independend of project (see Redmine screenshot for Roles configuration)
*   Private tickets cannot be seen / edited by users who are not allowed to see them:
    *   Not shown in work package list
    *   Links to those work packages (e.g. via Wiki syntax) are not functional
    *   Related work packages, parent & child work packages which are private are not shown
