Restrict Viewing an Issue to Reporter, Assignee, and Watchers (unable to add watcher)

Question

Hello,

in classic template of project I need restrict viewing a task only to Reporter, Assignee and Watchers.

Right now I have permissions to browse project for:
Current assignee
Reporter
but i am unable to find permission to add watcher.

Same scheme is used in issue security.

Result is right now I see only issues where i am reporter or assignee but can't add someone else as watcher.

Thank you

Brant,

thank you. I change permission for browse project and also setted security level for reporter and assignee person but I am unable to find watchers in security level.

The result is issses are able to see only reporter and ssigneed person, only they can find watcher but after clicking on him it will show pop up:

We couldn’t add that watcher
Check your connection, then give it another try.

Jozef,

The only way to give watchers access in the way you are specifying is to use issue security.  Users have to be able to browse to see issues and watchers is not an option on permission scheme.  Setting up issue security in that manner is easy to do and then current assignee, reporter and watchers would be the only ones to see the issue.
