Summary	0010896: Reporter not allowed to change status from Resolved to Closed
Description	After updating Mantis from version 1.1.2 to 1.1.8 all users with access level "Reporter" are no longer allowed to change the bug status from "Resolved" to "Closed". (The "change status to" button is not present in the bug window.) In Manage -> Manage Configuration -> Workflow Transitions, i have configured the "Minimum Access Level to Change to this Status" for "Closed" to "Reporter" (see the attached screenshot). When i go back to 1.1.2 everything works fine again.

david_s_nl 2009-10-30 12:01 reporter ~0023496	FYI i found the solution to this problem: Manage -> Manage Configuration -> Workflow Thresholds -> Update readonly issues had to be checked for REPORTERS. After setting this, REPORTERS were able to change the status to CLOSED again. In 1.1.2 this setting was not set... in 1.1.8 it seems to be required. Regards, David.
