Control What They See: Granular Access with Software Issue Manager

Field-based access control is a crucial feature within Software Issue Manager, offering administrators a granular level of control over who can view and edit specific fields. This capability enhances security and privacy by limiting access to sensitive information. Key aspects of this feature include:

1. Granular Access Control:

   • Administrators can define which fields are accessible to team members, managers, directors, and the public.
   • Provides fine-tuned control over who can view and edit specific data fields.

2. Sensitive Information Protection:

   • Enables the restriction of access to sensitive information by unauthorized users.
   • Enhances privacy and security by preventing certain users from accessing specific fields.

3. Example Use Case:

   • As an example, access to the "issue author email" field can be restricted for both public users and team members.
   • Once access to a particular field is revoked, these restrictions are applicable in both the frontend and WordPress dashboard editor.

4. Frontend and Dashboard Consistency:

   • The access control settings are seamlessly applied across both the frontend and the WordPress dashboard editor.
   • Ensures a consistent and secure user experience in all aspects of data access and editing.

In summary, the field-based access control feature empowers administrators to tailor access permissions, safeguard sensitive information, and maintain a secure environment for managing project-related data.
