How to get permission to add user to watchers list

I am an user and I cannot add myself as a watcher in any issue.

Scenario 1

I click on the number icon near the watchers field in the Issue screen

A little box shows up which prompts me to enter the user name

I enter the user name and hit enter . then the system displays "There was an error adding watcher. User xxxxx is not allowed to add watchers to this issue.

scenario 2 :

when click on the number icon near watcher field i don't see the little box to add user

I am not able to add user to watchers list , I created the issue though.

I think this must something to do with permissions. could you please help me with this?

Thanks,
Rohini.

Hi Rohini,

In order to do that you need to manage the permission scheme related to your project. There's a specific permission "Manage Watchers" that is used for these purposes.

Hope this helps.

Hi Fabio,

Thank you for the reply. But where can I find 'Manage watchers' ?

Thanks,

correct! you need to be an administrator to do that

Okay!! Let me check with the Administrator of my project.

Thanks much

That worked now I am able to add watchers to issue

Thanks a lot !

I don't have 'Project Administration' . I guess that option should be visible for administrative user, right?
