Configuration
After installation you first have to enable the plugin:
[components] componentpermissions.* = enabled
Then you have to configure which field it checks to enable component permission checking:
[component-permissions] allow_reporter = false allow_owner = false allow_cc = false allow_cc_email = false hide_components = false
You should also add the component near the beginning of the permission_policies list:
permission_policies = ComponentPermissionsPolicy, DefaultPermissionPolicy, LegacyAttachmentPolicy
Additionally, you can require component permission only when a configured ticket field is checked. For example, this can be such custom ticket field:
[ticket-custom] privacy = checkbox privacy.label = Privacy sensitive privacy.value = 0
And you configure this plugin to use it:
[component-permissions] ticket_field_name = privacy
This will require component permission only when the ticket is marked as privacy sensitive.
If you want only some components to have limited access, simply assign other components' permissions to the anonymous user.
There is also a special permission COMPONENT_VIEW which gives the user (or group) permission to see any ticket otherwise limited by component permissions.
If you want to allow ticket reporter, owner or users in CC list to have access to the ticket regardless of component permissions, you can set allow_reporter, allow_owner, and allow_cc to true, respectively. You can also use allow_cc_email to specify user's by their e-mail address (even if such user does not yet exist). However be careful: make sure users' email addresses are verified and that they cannot be freely changed to arbitrary values.
Setting hide_components to true will hide components from ticket and other forms if user does not have permission for them. Works if not using a custom field.
