Could the property be allowed to add defect to the role template? There may be cases where the person assigned as Author should not open the defect. As an example, the Author can only fix the defect ...
When set Can Change Own Defects to None and Can Change others' defects to fix/edit:
1- Edit - Author can change defect custom fields and defect comment of others.
2- Author can open defect but could not change own defect.
I tried to mention about that:
1- Author can not change defect custom fields and defect comment of others.
2- Author can not create defect.
3- Author can track externally or export issue.
4- Author can fix or reject defect.
