3.3. User Preferences
Once you have logged in, you can customise various aspects of + Bugzilla via the "Edit prefs" link in the page footer. + The preferences are split into four tabs:
3.3.1. Account Settings
On this tab, you can change your basic account information, + including your password, email address and real name. For security + reasons, in order to change anything on this page you must type your + current + password into the + "Password" + field at the top of the page. + If you attempt to change your email address, a confirmation + email is sent to both the old and new addresses, with a link to use to + confirm the change. This helps to prevent account hijacking.
3.3.2. Email Settings
On this tab you can reduce or increase the amount of email sent + you from Bugzilla, opting in our out depending on your relationship to + the bug and the change that was made to it. (Note that you can also do + client-side filtering using the X-Bugzilla-Reason header which Bugzilla + adds to all bugmail.)
By entering user email names, delineated by commas, into the + "Users to watch" text entry box you can receive a copy of all the + bugmail of other users (security settings permitting.) This powerful + functionality enables seamless transitions as developers change + projects or users go on holiday.
The ability to watch other users may not be available in all + Bugzilla installations. If you can't see it, ask your + administrator. |
3.3.3. Page Footer
On the Search page, you can store queries in Bugzilla, so if you + regularly run a particular query it is just a drop-down menu away. + Once you have a stored query, you can come + here to request that it also be displayed in your page footer.
3.3.4. Permissions
This is a purely informative page which outlines your current + permissions on this installation of Bugzilla - what product groups you + are in, and whether you can edit bugs or perform various administration + functions.
