Restrict Users shown in Watchers and Search Screen - Assignee System Fields

[Jawahar Sinha]

Is there a way to restrict users shown on the Watchers system field and in Assignee field in search screen (in filters). Please guide me how this could be setup?

You can limit which users are shown in assignee of a ticket by adjusting "Assignable user" permission of a project. There is no way to restrict watcher and voters, if they can see the issue they can add themselves.

Hy @Jawahar Sinha

there is a permission in the permission scheme to "View Voters and Watchers", if that is what you are looking for. Only users/groups/roles configured to have this permission can see the users in the Watchers field.

If your question is more like "Can i prevent certain users to show in the Watchers field" - i dont know a way to do that.

I dont know of a way to restrict the visibility of the assignee apart from restricting access to the whole issue.
