Summary0005151: Can't update user's project-specific access level
Description

The problem is when I want to change some user's account level (e.g. from updater to manager) I first have to delete the user from the project and then add the user with the other level of permissions. It's not a very big problem but I think it is worth of modifing since it would be simplifing administrator's job and I think it's not difficult to modify this feature.

TagsNo tags attached.

Can you retest this in a later version of Mantis? I believe that you can change the user's access level through the Manage Users page.

I believe the original question was about a user that has been added to a project, not a user account access level as your note suggests.

With 1.0.0a3, I can get to Manage Users only if I am an administrator, and once there I can edit the user's account access level, but when I add them to projects they have another access level which can only be removed, not edited.

Similarly, if I am managing a project as a manager, I can add users using Manage Projects but I can only remove the added users and add them again. I cannot edit their access level without removing them.

This actually is a minor concurrency issue. If you are forced to remove the user for a short time, and the user is actively working on issues, they may lose access temporarily and complain that mantis was unreliable or had a bug (which of course they can no longer reproduce).

You are correct. We need an "Update" button beside the "remove" one.

I've had the same problem. And I've build a plugin that replaces the access level string by a dropdown menu to change the access level. On change an ajax call sets the new value in database (it deletes user and set the new access level).

You can find my plugin on github: https://github.com/langerheiko/AdminsToolbox

Details Diff		 Add optional $p_link param to print_user()

In 2.20.0, prepare_user_name() received a new optional parameter to
allow username to be printed as-is without making it an HTML link (see
commit e504944145090f74a16f11688ec84238243aa2d8, issue 0005151).

It makes sense that this capability is extended to print_user() API.		 Affected Issues
