Issue Category Permissions Overview

PERMISSIONS NEEDED: CONFIGURATION: ISSUES (for the Issues Module) OR CONFIGURATION: CHANGE CONTROL (for Change Control Module)

Issue Category permissions are configured in the Issue Category itself. Each categories' permissions can be configured differently. All category permissions can be configured when the issue is in a draft state and also when the category is active

To find category permission settings for either an issue category, from the Main Dashboard, navigate to Settings - Configuration - Issues:
