Can creators add watchers?

[Joel Tan]

I noticed that creators within the JPD project cannot add watchers. They can only add themselves as watchers.

Is this an admin feature only within JPD project? It seems odd that only an admin can add watchers within stories. 

Does anybody know a workaround for this?

Hi @Joel Tan ,

Creators can add other Watchers to JPD ideas if permitted.

Managing Watching is a global permission under the Permission schemes tab:

If a creator does not have this global permission assigned to their role, group, user, etc. - they will not be able to add watchers other than themself on an idea.

Thanks Nick for this. I'll relay to the team members about this. Cheers
