Check that box and hit the **Submit issue** +button to create the issue. For existing issues, edit them, check the +confidential checkbox and hit **Save changes**. + +![Creating a new confidential issue](img/confidential_issues_create.png) + +## Making an issue non-confidential + +To make an issue non-confidential, all you have to do is edit it and unmark +the confidential checkbox. Once you save the issue, it will gain the default +visibility level you have chosen for your project. + +Every change from regular to confidential and vice versa, is indicated by a +system note in the issue's comments. + +![Confidential issues system notes](img/confidential_issues_system_notes.png) + +## Indications of a confidential issue + +>**Note:** If you don't have [enough permissions](#permissions-and-access-to-confidential-issues), +you won't be able to see the confidential issues at all. + +There are a few things that visually separate a confidential issue from a +regular one. In the issues index page view, you can see the eye-slash icon +next to the issues that are marked as confidential. + +![Confidential issues index page](img/confidential_issues_index_page.png) + +--- + +Likewise, while inside the issue, you can see the eye-slash icon right next to +the issue number, but there is also an indicator in the comment area that the +issue you are commenting on is confidential. + +![Confidential issue page](img/confidential_issues_issue_page.png) + +## Permissions and access to confidential issues + +There are two kinds of level access for confidential issues. The general rule +is that confidential issues are visible only to members of a project with at +least [Reporter access][permissions]. However, a guest user can also create +confidential issues, but can only view the ones that they created themselves. + +Confidential issues are also hidden in search results for unprivileged users. +For example, here's what a user with Master and Guest access sees in the +project's search results respectively. + +| Master access | Guest access | +| :-----------: | :----------: | +| ![Confidential issues search master](img/confidential_issues_search_master.png) | ![Confidential issues search guest](img/confidential_issues_search_guest.png) | + +[permissions]: ../../permissions.md#project diff --git a/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_create.png b/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_create.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 00000000000..4e6be3cc431 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_create.png diff --git a/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_index_page.png b/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_index_page.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 00000000000..042461e2451 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_index_page.png diff --git a/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_issue_page.png b/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_issue_page.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 00000000000..b3568e9303a --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_issue_page.png diff --git a/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_search_guest.png b/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_search_guest.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 00000000000..1af3d04d507 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_search_guest.png diff --git a/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_search_master.png b/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_search_master.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 00000000000..b2edeb6094a --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_search_master.png diff --git a/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_system_notes.png b/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_system_notes.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 00000000000..4005f9350f7 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/user/project/issues/img/confidential_issues_system_notes.png |
