    <para>
      Bugzilla is configured by changing various parameters, accessed
      from the "Parameters" link in the Administration page (the 
      Administration page can be found by clicking the "Administration"
      link in the footer). The parameters are divided into several categories,
      accessed via the menu on the left. Following is a description of the 
      different categories and important parameters within those categories. 
    </para>

      <section id="param-requiredsettings">
        <title>Required Settings</title>

        <para>
          The core required parameters for any Bugzilla installation are set
          here. These parameters must be set before a new Bugzilla installation
          can be used. Administrators should review this list before 
          deploying a new Bugzilla installation.

                If enabled, Bugzilla will force HTTPS (SSL) connections, by
                automatically redirecting any users who try to use a non-SSL
                connection.

              <para>
               Defines the domain for Bugzilla cookies. This is typically left blank.
               If there are multiple hostnames that point to the same webserver, which
               require the same cookie, then this parameter can be utilized. For
               example, If your website is at 
               <filename>https://www.foo.com/</filename>, setting this to 
               <filename>.foo.com/</filename> will also allow 
               <filename>bar.foo.com/</filename> to access Bugzilla cookies.

                Defines a path, relative to the web server root, that Bugzilla
                cookies will be restricted to. For example, if the 
                <command>urlbase</command> is set to
                <filename>http://www.foo.com/bugzilla/</filename>, the 
                <command>cookiepath</command> should be set to 
                <filename>/bugzilla/</filename>. Setting it to "/" will allow all sites 
                served by this web server or virtual host to read Bugzilla cookies.

              groups, and users restricted to only see products in their groups.
              Several parameters are described in more detail below. Most of the
              configuration of groups and their relationship to products is done
              on the "Groups" and "Product" pages of the "Administration" area.
              The options on this page control global default behavior.

          <para>LDAP authentication is a module for Bugzilla's plugin 
          authentication architecture. This page contains all the parameters
          necessary to configure Bugzilla for use with LDAP authentication.
          </para>

          <para>
          The existing authentication
          scheme for Bugzilla uses email addresses as the primary user ID, and a
          password to authenticate that user. All places within Bugzilla that
          require a user ID (e.g assigning a bug) use the email
          address. The LDAP authentication builds on top of this scheme, rather
          than replacing it. The initial log-in is done with a username and
          password for the LDAP directory. Bugzilla tries to bind to LDAP using
          those credentials and, if successful, tries to map this account to a
          Bugzilla account. If an LDAP mail attribute is defined, the value of this
          attribute is used, otherwise the "emailsuffix" parameter is appended to LDAP
          username to form a full email address. If an account for this address
          already exists in the Bugzilla installation, it will log in to that account.
          If no account for that email address exists, one is created at the time
          of login. (In this case, Bugzilla will attempt to use the "displayName"
          or "cn" attribute to determine the user's full name.) After
          authentication, all other user-related tasks are still handled by email
          address, not LDAP username. For example, bugs are still assigned by
          email address and users are still queried by email address.
          </para>

          <caution>
            <para>Because the Bugzilla account is not created until the first time
            a user logs in, a user who has not yet logged is unknown to Bugzilla.
            This means they cannot be used as an assignee or QA contact (default or
            otherwise), added to any CC list, or any other such operation. One
            possible workaround is the <filename>bugzilla_ldapsync.rb</filename>
            script in the
            <glossterm linkend="gloss-contrib">
            <filename class="directory">contrib</filename></glossterm>

            This page controls whether a shadow database is used, and all the
            parameters associated with the shadow database. Versions of Bugzilla
            prior to 3.2 used the MyISAM table type, which supports
            only table-level write locking. With MyISAM, any time someone is making a change to 
            a bug, the entire table is locked until the write operation is complete.
            Locking for write also blocks reads until the write is complete.
          </para> 
          <para>
            The <quote>shadowdb</quote> parameter was designed to get around
            this limitation. While only a single user is allowed to write to
            a table at a time, reads can continue unimpeded on a read-only
            shadow copy of the database.
          </para>

          <note>
            <para>
              As of version 3.2, Bugzilla no longer uses the MyISAM table type.
              Instead, InnoDB is used, which can do transaction-based locking.
              Therefore, the limitations the Shadow Database feature was designed
              to workaround no longer exist.

            The settings on this page control how users are selected and queried

            when choosing who the bug is assigned to, adding to the CC list or 
            selecting a QA contact. With the "usemenuforusers" parameter, it is 
            possible to configure Bugzilla to 
            display a list of users in the fields instead of an empty text field.
            This should only be used in Bugzilla installations with a small number

          will appear in the Administration page.
        </para>

        <para>
          The first screen is a search form to search for existing user
          accounts. You can run searches based either on the user ID, real
          name or login name (i.e. the email address, or just the first part
          of the email address if the "emailsuffix" parameter is set).
          The search can be conducted
          in different ways using the listbox to the right of the text entry
          box. You can match by case-insensitive substring (the default),
          regular expression, a <emphasis>reverse</emphasis> regular expression
          match (which finds every user name which does NOT match the regular
          expression), or the exact string if you know exactly who you are
          looking for. The search can be restricted to users who are in a
          specific group. By default, the restriction is turned off.
        </para>

        <para>
          The search returns a list of
          users matching your criteria. User properties can be edited by clicking
          the login name. The Account History of a user can be viewed by clicking
          the "View" link in the Account History column. The Account History
          displays changes that have been made to the user account, the time of
          the change and the user who made the change. For example, the Account
          History page will display details of when a user was added or removed
          from a group.

        control the relationship of the groups to the product being edited.
        </para> 

        <para>
        Group Access Controls are an important aspect of using groups for 
        isolating products and restricting access to bugs filed against those
        products. For more information on groups, including how to create, edit
        add users to, and alter permission of, see <xref linkend="groups"/>.
        </para>

        <para>
        After selecting the "Edit Group Access Controls" link from the "Edit
        Product" page, a table containing all user-defined groups for this 
        Bugzilla installation is displayed. The system groups that are created
        when Bugzilla is installed are not applicable to Group Access Controls.
        Below is description of what each of these fields means.
        </para>

        <para>
        Groups may be applicable (e.g bugs in this product can be associated
        with this group) , default (e.g. bugs in this product are in this group
        by default), and mandatory (e.g. bugs in this product must be associated
        with this group) for each product. Groups can also control access 
        to bugs for a given product, or be used to make bugs for a product 
        totally read-only unless the group restrictions are met. The best way to
        understand these relationships is by example. See 
        <xref linkend="group-control-examples"/> for examples of 
        product and group relationships.
        </para>
  
        <note>
          <para>
            Products and Groups are not limited to a one-to-one relationship. 
            Multiple groups can be associated with the same product, and groups
            can be associated with more than one product. 
          </para>
        </note> 

        <para>
        If any group has <emphasis>Entry</emphasis> selected, then the

        <emphasis>Entry</emphasis> selected.
        </para>

        <para>
        If any group has <emphasis>Canedit</emphasis> selected,

        The <emphasis>MemberControl</emphasis> and

      <section id="group-control-examples">
      <title>Common Applications of Group Controls</title>

      <para>
        The use of groups is best explained by providing examples that illustrate
        configurations for common use cases. The examples follow a common syntax:
        <emphasis>Group: Entry, MemberControl, OtherControl, CanEdit,
        EditComponents, CanConfirm, EditBugs</emphasis>. Where "Group" is the name
        of the group being edited for this product. The other fields all
        correspond to the table on the "Edit Group Access Controls" page. If any
        of these options are not listed, it means they are not checked.      
      </para>
      
          <para>
            Basic Product/Group Restriction
          </para>

        <para>
          Suppose there is a product called "Bar". The 
          "Bar" product can only have bugs entered against it by users in the
          group "Foo". Additionally, bugs filed against product "Bar" must stay
          restricted to users to "Foo" at all times. Furthermore, only members
          of group "Foo" can edit bugs filed against product "Bar", even if other
          users could see the bug. This arrangement would achieved by the
          following:
        </para>

        <programlisting>
Product Bar: 
foo: ENTRY, MANDATORY/MANDATORY, CANEDIT
        </programlisting>

        <para>
          Perhaps such strict restrictions are not needed for product "Bar". A 
          more lenient way to configure product "Bar" and group "Foo" would be:
        </para>

        <programlisting>
Product Bar: 
foo: ENTRY, SHOWN/SHOWN, EDITCOMPONENTS, CANCONFIRM, EDITBUGS
        </programlisting>

        <para>
          The above indicates that for product "Bar", members of group "Foo" can
          enter bugs. Any one with permission to edit a bug against product "Bar"
          can put the bug
          in group "Foo", even if they themselves are not in "Foo". Anyone in group
          "Foo" can edit all aspects of the components of product "Bar", can confirm
          bugs against product "Bar", and can edit all fields of any bug against
          product "Bar".

          <para>
            To permit users of "Product A" to access the bugs for
            "Product A", users of "Product B" to access the bugs for 
            "Product B", and support staff, who are members of the "Support 
            Group" to access both, three groups are needed:
          </para>

          <orderedlist>

          <listitem>
            <para>Support Group: Contains members of the support staff.</para>
          </listitem>

          <listitem>
            <para>AccessA Group: Contains users of product A and the Support group.</para>
          </listitem>

          <listitem>
            <para>AccessB Group: Contains users of product B and the Support group.</para>
          </listitem>

          </orderedlist>

          <para>
            Once these three groups are defined, the product group controls
            can be set to:
          </para>

          <programlisting>
Product A:
AccessA: ENTRY, MANDATORY/MANDATORY
Product B:
AccessB: ENTRY, MANDATORY/MANDATORY
        </programlisting>

        <para>
         Perhaps the "Support Group" wants more control. For example, 
         the "Support Group"  could be permitted to make bugs inaccessible to 
         users of both groups "AccessA" and "AccessB". 
         Then, the "Support Group" could be permitted to publish
         bugs relevant to all users in a third product (let's call it 
         "Product Common") that is read-only
         to anyone outside the "Support Group". In this way the "Support Group" 
         could control bugs that should be seen by both groups. 
         That configuration would be:
        </para>

      <programlisting>
Product A:
AccessA: ENTRY, MANDATORY/MANDATORY
Support: SHOWN/NA
Product B:
AccessB: ENTRY, MANDATORY/MANDATORY
Support: SHOWN/NA
Product Common:
Support: ENTRY, DEFAULT/MANDATORY, CANEDIT
      </programlisting>

          <para>
            Make a Product Read Only
          </para>

          <para>
            Sometimes a product is retired and should no longer have
            new bugs filed against it (for example, an older version of a software
            product that is no longer supported). A product can be made read-only
            by creating a group called "readonly" and adding products to the
            group as needed:
          </para>

         <programlisting>
Product A:
ReadOnly: ENTRY, NA/NA, CANEDIT
         </programlisting>

  <section id="components" xreflabel="Components">
    <title>Components</title>

    <para>Components are subsections of a Product. E.g. the computer game 
    you are designing may have a "UI"
    component, an "API" component, a "Sound System" component, and a
    "Plugins" component, each overseen by a different programmer. It
    often makes sense to divide Components in Bugzilla according to the
    natural divisions of responsibility within your Product or
    company.</para>

    <para>
    Each component has a default assignee and (if you turned it on in the parameters),
    a QA Contact. The default assignee should be the primary person who fixes bugs in
    that component. The QA Contact should be the person who will ensure
    these bugs are completely fixed. The Assignee, QA Contact, and Reporter
    will get email when new bugs are created in this Component and when
    these bugs change. Default Assignee and Default QA Contact fields only
    dictate the 
    <emphasis>default assignments</emphasis>; 
    these can be changed on bug submission, or at any later point in
    a bug's life.</para>

        The <quote>Component Description</quote> field may contain a

     Flags are a way to attach a specific status to a bug or attachment, 
     either <quote>+</quote> or <quote>-</quote>. The meaning of these symbols depends on the text
     the flag itself, but contextually they could mean pass/fail, 
     accept/reject, approved/denied, or even a simple yes/no. If your site
     allows requestable flags, then users may set a flag to <quote>?</quote> as a 
     request to another user that they look at the bug/attachment, and set
     the flag to its correct status.

       If a flag has been defined as 'requestable', and a user has enough privileges

            or you must remove <quote>__Any__:__Any__</quote> from the Inclusions box

            To do this, uncheck <quote>active</quote>. Deactivated
            flags will still show up in the UI if they are ?, +, or -, but they
            may only be cleared (unset), and cannot be changed to a new value.

  <section id="keywords">
    <title>Keywords</title>

    <para>
    The administrator can define keywords which can be used to tag and
    categorise bugs. For example, the keyword "regression" is commonly used.
    A company might have a policy stating all regressions
    must be fixed by the next release - this keyword can make tracking those
    bugs much easier.
    </para>
    <para>
    Keywords are global, rather than per-product. If the administrator changes
    a keyword currently applied to any bugs, the keyword cache must be rebuilt
    using the <xref linkend="sanitycheck"/> script. Currently keywords cannot
    be marked obsolete to prevent future usage.
    </para>
    <para>
    Keywords can be created, edited or deleted by clicking the "Keywords"
    link in the admin page. There are two fields for each keyword - the keyword
    itself and a brief description. Once created, keywords can be selected
    and applied to individual bugs in that bug's "Details" section.

  <section id="custom-fields">
    <title>Custom Fields</title>

    <para>
      The release of Bugzilla 3.0 added the ability to create Custom Fields. 
      Custom Fields are treated like any other field - they can be set in bugs
      and used for search queries. Administrators should keep in mind that
      adding too many fields can make the user interface more complicated and
      harder to use. Custom Fields should be added only when necessary and with 
      careful consideration.
    </para>
    <tip>
      <para>
        Before adding a Custom Field, make sure that Bugzilla cannot already
        do the desired behavior. Many Bugzilla options are not enabled by 
        default, and many times Administrators find that simply enabling
        certain options that already exist is sufficient. 
      </para>
    </tip>
    <para>
      Administrators can manage Custom Fields using the
      <quote>Custom Fields</quote> link on the Administration page. The Custom
      Fields administration page displays a list of Custom Fields, if any exist,
      and a link to "Add a new custom field".

              When the custom field is of type <quote>Drop Down</quote> or

              setting. For instance, you may decide that some given value

        of the bug history would be compromised). For custom fields marked
        as obsolete, a "Delete" link will appear in the <quote>Action</quote>
        column. If the custom field has been used in the past, the deletion

    <title>Bug Status Workflow</title>

    <para>
      The bug status workflow is no longer hardcoded but can be freely customized
      from the web interface. Only one bug status cannot be renamed nor deleted,
      UNCONFIRMED, but the workflow involving it is free. The configuration
      page displays all existing bug statuses twice, first on the left for bug
      statuses we come from and on the top for bug statuses we move to.
      If the checkbox is checked, then the transition between the two bug statuses
      is legal, else it's forbidden independently of your privileges. The bug status
      used for the "duplicate_or_move_bug_status" parameter must be part of the
      workflow as that is the bug status which will be used when duplicating or
      moving a bug, so it must be available from each bug status.
    </para>

      When the workflow is set, the "View Current Triggers" link below the table

    <title>Voting</title>

    <para>All of the code for voting in Bugzilla has been moved into an

    directory. To enable it, you must remove the <filename>disabled</filename>
    file from that directory, and run <filename>checksetup.pl</filename>.</para>

    <para>Voting allows users to be given a pot of votes which they can allocate
    to bugs, to indicate that they'd like them fixed. 
    This allows developers to gauge
    user need for a particular enhancement or bugfix. By allowing bugs with
    a certain number of votes to automatically move from "UNCONFIRMED" to
    "CONFIRMED", users of the bug system can help high-priority bugs garner
    attention so they don't sit for a long time awaiting triage.</para>

  <section id="quips">
    <title>Quips</title>

    <para>
      Quips are small text messages that can be configured to appear
      next to search results. A Bugzilla installation can have its own specific
      quips. Whenever a quip needs to be displayed, a random selection
      is made from the pool of already existing quips.
    </para>
  
    <para>
      Quip submission is controlled by the <emphasis>quip_list_entry_control</emphasis>
      parameter.  It has several possible values: open, moderated, or closed.
      In order to enable quips approval you need to set this parameter to
      "moderated". In this way, users are free to submit quips for addition
      but an administrator must explicitly approve them before they are
      actually used.
    </para>

    <para>
      In order to see the user interface for the quips, it is enough to click
      on a quip when it is displayed together with the search results. Or
      it can be seen directly in the browser by visiting the quips.cgi URL
      (prefixed with the usual web location of the Bugzilla installation).
      Once the quip interface is displayed, it is enough to click the
      "view and edit the whole quip list" in order to see the administration
      page. A page with all the quips available in the database will
      be displayed.
    </para>

    <para>
      Next to each quip there is a checkbox, under the
      "Approved" column. Quips who have this checkbox checked are
      already approved and will appear next to the search results.
      The ones that have it unchecked are still preserved in the
      database but they will not appear on search results pages.
      User submitted quips have initially the checkbox unchecked.
    </para>
  
    <para>
      Also, there is a delete link next to each quip,
      which can be used in order to permanently delete a quip.
    </para>

    <para>
      Display of quips is controlled by the <emphasis>display_quips</emphasis>
      user preference.  Possible values are "on" and "off".

  </section>

  <section id="groups">
    <title>Groups and Group Security</title>

    <para>
    Groups allow for separating bugs into logical divisions.
    Groups are typically used
    to isolate bugs that should only be seen by certain people. For
    example, a company might create a different group for each one of its customers
    or partners. Group permissions could be set so that each partner or customer would
    only have access to their own bugs. Or, groups might be used to create
    variable access controls for different departments within an organization.
    Another common use of groups is to associate groups with products,
    creating isolation and access control on a per-product basis.
    </para>

    <para>
    Groups and group behaviors are controlled in several places:
    </para>

      <orderedlist>

         <listitem>
           <para>
             The group configuration page. To view or edit existing groups, or to
             create new groups, access the "Groups" link from the "Administration"
             page. This section of the manual deals primarily with the aspect of
             group controls accessed on this page.  
           </para>
         </listitem> 

        <listitem>
          <para>
            Global configuration parameters. Bugzilla has several parameters 
            that control the overall default group behavior and restriction
            levels. For more information on the parameters that control 
            group behavior globally, see <xref linkend="param-group-security"/>.

          <para>
            Product association with groups. Most of the functionality of groups
            and group security is controlled at the product level. Some aspects
            of group access controls for products are discussed in this section,
            but for more detail see <xref linkend="product-group-controls"/>.

          </para>
         </listitem>

      </orderedlist>

    <para>
      Group permissions are such that if a bug belongs to a group, only members
      of that group can see the bug. If a bug is in more than one group, only
      members of <emphasis>all</emphasis> the groups that the bug is in can see
      the bug. For information on granting read-only access to certain people and
      full edit access to others, see <xref linkend="product-group-controls"/>.
     </para> 

     <note>
      <para>
        By default, bugs can also be seen by the Assignee, the Reporter, and 
        by everyone on the CC List, regardless of whether or not the bug would 
        typically be viewable by them. Visibility to the Reporter and CC List can 
        be overridden (on a per-bug basis) by bringing up the bug, finding the 
        section that starts with <quote>Users in the roles selected below...</quote>
        and un-checking the box next to either 'Reporter' or 'CC List' (or both).

        </listitem>
  
        <listitem>
          <para>
            There are five fields to fill out. These fields are documented below
            the form. Choose a name and description for the group. Decide whether
            this group should be used for bugs (in all likelihood this should be
            selected). Optionally, choose a regular expression that will
            automatically add any matching users to the group, and choose an
            icon that will help identify user comments for the group. The regular
            expression can be useful, for example, to automatically put all users
            from the same company into one group (if the group is for a specific
            customer or partner). 
          </para>
            <note>
             <para>
               If <quote>User RegExp</quote> is filled out, users whose email 
               addresses match the regular expression will automatically be 
               members of the group as long as their email addresses continue

               and no longer matches the regular expression, they will be removed
               from the group. Versions 2.16 and older of Bugzilla did not automatically
               remove users who's email addresses no longer matched the RegExp.

               If specifying a domain in the regular expression, end
               the regexp with a "$". Otherwise, when granting access to 
               "@mycompany\.com", access will also be granted to 
               'badperson@mycompany.com.cracker.net'. Use the syntax,

          After the new group is created, it can be edited for additional options. 
          The "Edit Group" page allows for specifying other groups that should be included
          in this group and which groups should be permitted to add and delete
          users from this group. For more details, see <xref linkend="edit-groups"/>.

      <para>
        To access the "Edit Groups" page, select the 
        <quote>Administration</quote> link in the page footer, 
        and then select the <quote>Groups</quote> link from the Administration page.
        A table of all the existing groups is displayed. Click on a group name
        you wish to edit or control permissions for.

      <para>
       The "Edit Groups" page contains the same five fields present when 
       creating a new group. Below that are two additional sections, "Group
       Permissions," and "Mass Remove". The "Mass Remove" option simply removes
       all users from the group who match the regular expression entered. The
       "Group Permissions" section requires further explanation.
      </para>

      <para>
       The "Group Permissions" section on the "Edit Groups" page contains four sets
       of permissions that control the relationship of this group to other
       groups. If the 'usevisibilitygroups' parameter is in use (see
       <xref linkend="parameters"/>) two additional sets of permissions are displayed. 
       Each set consists of two select boxes. On the left, a select box
       with a list of all existing groups. On the right, a select box listing
       all groups currently selected for this permission setting (this box will
       be empty for new groups). The way these controls allow groups to relate
       to one another is called <emphasis>inheritance</emphasis>. 
       Each of the six permissions is described below.

      <orderedlist>

        <listitem>
          <para>
            The user can be explicitly placed in the group by editing
            the user's profile. This can be done by accessing the "Users" page
            from the "Administration" page. Use the search form to find the user
            you want to edit group membership for, and click on their email
            address in the search results to edit their profile. The profile
            page lists all the groups, and indicates if the user is a member of
            the group either directly or indirectly. More information on indirect
            group membership is below. For more details on User administration,
            see <xref linkend="useradmin"/>.

           The group can include another group of which the user is
           a member. This is indicated by square brackets around the checkbox  
           next to the group name in the user's profile.

            The user's email address can match the regular expression

            group name in the user's profile.

            the regular expression option when creating groups.

     <title>Assigning Group Controls to Products</title>

     <para>
     The primary functionality of groups is derived from the relationship of 
     groups to products. The concepts around segregating access to bugs with
     product group controls can be confusing. For details and examples on this
     topic, see <xref linkend="product-group-controls" />.

    <title>Checking and Maintaining Database Integrity</title>

    <para>
    Over time it is possible for the Bugzilla database to become corrupt
    or to have anomalies.
    This could happen through normal usage of Bugzilla, manual database
    administration outside of the Bugzilla user interface, or from some
    other unexpected event. Bugzilla includes a "Sanity Check" script that
    can perform several basic database checks, and repair certain problems or
    inconsistencies. 
    </para>
    <para>
    To run the "Sanity Check" script, log in as an Administrator and click the
    "Sanity Check" link in the admin page. Any problems that are found will be
    displayed in red letters. If the script is capable of fixing a problem,
    it will present a link to initiate the fix. If the script cannot
    fix the problem it will require manual database administration or recovery.
    </para>
    <para>
    The "Sanity Check" script can also be run from the command line via the perl
    script <filename>sanitycheck.pl</filename>. The script can also be run as
    a <command>cron</command> job. Results will be delivered by email.
    </para>
    <para>
    The "Sanity Check" script should be run on a regular basis as a matter of
    best practice.
    </para>
    <warning>
      <para>
      The "Sanity Check" script is no substitute for a competent database
      administrator. It is only designed to check and repair basic database
      problems.
