Anonymous Authors plug-in¶ ↑

Anonymous Authors plug-in:

• Allows to the anonymous user to enter his name and e-mail address when adding an issue;

• Allows to the anonymous user to enter his name and e-mail address when adding a note to the issue;

• Displays the entered name and e-mail address anywhere in Redmine instead of “Anonymous”;

• Notifies the author of anonymously created issue when it is updated. You can add a note to the issue and author will get the notification as a normal user;

• When Redmine is set up to create issues from mails, it uses the name and e-mail address from “From” header of the received mail;

• Allows to filter issues by the author’s name and author’s e-mail address (including anonymous authors);
