After installation

For the plugin to work properly, enable the module «Luxury Buttons» in settings of each project where you will use buttons.

We do not recommend using the permission settings of the status transition and rights of the fields visibility that are available in the standard «Redmine». Such settings may lead to conflicts that are difficult to track.

To disable these settings:

  1. Go to «Luxury Buttons» module settings.
  2. Enable options «Ignore limitation in «Transitions» settings section» and «Ignore limitation in «Field permissions» settings section». This eliminates the need to prescribe permission status-transitions in default Redmine settings. Exceptions work only for projects where the module Luxury Buttons is enabled.

Plugin «Luxury Buttons» sets restrictions on the creation of issues with a specific tracker by roles. Therefore, it is necessary to specify which roles can create issues with a specific tracker. Otherwise, your users will not be able to create an issue.

To perform these settings:

  1. Go to the menu item «Administration → Trackers».
  2. Choose a specific tracker.
  3. Select the roles who can create issues with this tracker.
  4. Repeat this procedure for all the trackers.
