5.9. 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 three tabs:
5.9.1. 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.
5.9.2. 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. -
You can also do further filtering on the client side by - using the X-Bugzilla-Reason mail header which Bugzilla - adds to all bugmail. This tells you what relationship you have to the - bug in question, - and can be any of Owner, Reporter, QAcontact, CClist, Voter and - WatchingComponent.
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. |
