Give instance-level administrators permissions to link issues
Summary
In Update permissions to relate issues (!148372 - merged), we relaxed the permissions for linking issues to each other from Reporter to Guest. However, this introduced a bug where instance level administrators are blocked from linking issues.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a project as a non-administrator user
- Create two issues as an instance administrator
- Access one of the issues as the administrator
- You will not be able to link the two issues
Example Project
What is the current bug behavior?
Instance level administrators are not able to link issues to each other
What is the expected correct behavior?
Instance level administrators should be able to link issues. When accessing an issue, they should see an 'Add' button in the 'Linked items' section.
