Description Jon Shavor

2011-05-25 14:51:06 EDT

I would like to request a Bugzilla group for the EDT Project.  What I am trying to accomplish is to create a Bugzilla search that can be executed from an EDT Wiki page.  I am able to create my own saved search and execute it from a Wiki page, but others on the team can not execute the search because they do not have access.  I am thinking a group with shared searches is the solution.  From my research, it seems that only a Bugzilla administrator can create a group.  If this is not true, please let me know how I can create the group.

If only an administrator can add users to the group, I would like all the EDT committers added to the group.

I am open to other suggested solutions to this problem.

All the parameters of a search are included in the URL so that searches can be exchanged/sent to others without them needing to be logged in, or having access to your saved searches.

For instance, this URL is a query for open bugs against Community/Bugzilla:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced;bug_status=NEW;bug_status=ASSIGNED;bug_status=REOPENED;component=Bugzilla;classification=Eclipse%20Foundation;product=Community
