Problem

  • User is unable to see the Group, in which to restrict a comment even though they are added to the group.
  • User is unable to see a specific Group to restrict a comment. 
  • User is unable to see a specific Project role to restrict a comment

Resolution

  • Ensure that the user exist as a member of the Group, for the group to be visible and selectable for the user to restrict a comment.
  • Ensure that the user is also added in the Project role of that Project to see the project roles available to restrict a comment.
