Problem with Assign-to as Drop-Down List

[Martin]

Hi,

in my Trac installation, anonymous and authenticated users do not have
TICKET_MODIFY permisson. The subset of users, who are potential ticket
assignees have either TRAC_ADMIN permission or they are in a special
"users" group with TICKET_MODIFY permission.

In my old Trac (1.2.something) the dropdown for ticket assignees was
short, with only those with either TRAC_ADMIN or TICKET_MODIFY rights.

After upgrading to 1.6, it suddenly contains all users that ever used
the system in the last 15 years, including users that are already
deleted.

How can I get the old behaviour back?

TIA!

I just checked dropdown for owner field with Trac 1.6 but it seems it
works fine me.
Are you using [ticket] restrict_owner enabled?

Please share trac.ini and output of `trac-admin $ENV permission list`.

Yes, but...

This hint was really helpful, thank you!

While "authenticated" did not have TICKET_MODIFY permission directly,
they had TICKET_BATCH_MODIFY permission, which seems to imply the
former. Which is pretty reasonable.

I removed that permission and now everything works as it should.

Cheers
