Current state

Permissions w.r.t to time management are explicitly restricted to time tracking. This does not include time estimations.

Role of estimated hours

  • Time estimation is an attribute of an issue (columm in issues table)
  • All attributes are equally treated
  • Estimated hours appear in many places throughout Redmine:
    • Single issue
    • Single issue history (property changes)
    • List of issues (optional column)
    • Single version page

Extendability

Redmine's issues are a central element. Issue related data such that estimated hours are widely spread in the code as listed above. However, one weakness of Redmine's codebase is that there is lot of code very tightly coupled. This is especially true for projects and issues. It is not possible to define an additional permission for an issue attribute at one or very few places.

Current decision

Currently, the effort is to high for this feature. It may change, when there will be a greater demand for an additional permission for estimated hours.

Therefore, the ticket will stay open!
