How can I retroactively make a Red Hat bug private?

Context

I checked the box during submission in GNOME Abrt:

However, it’s not private! [1] Do I also need to check its duplicate?


  1. bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2369810#c14 ↩︎

It appears so:

--- Running report_Bugzilla ---
Checking for duplicates
Creating a new bug...
Failed to create bug.
Server says: 401 Unauthorized
{"code":113,"message":"Sorry, but you are not allowed to (un)mark comments or attachments as private.","error":true,"documentation":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/docs/en/html/api/index.html"}
('report_Bugzilla' exited with 1)

Does that mean that the report-specific checkbox is inoperative? If so, I’ll report this to GitHub or RHBZ.

Not merely does that checkbox apparently not operate, but disabling its duplicate created a new bug, [1] rather than attaching to its apparent duplicate, which, presumably, means I just can’t even file a bug restricted!

Additionally, I see no option to in the BZ GUI anymore, so I’ll NEEDINFO the assignee.

Do user have the rights to mark issues private in the bug report?

normally you just set groups to ‘private’
