[Insight-developers] access to bug tracking

[Lydia Ng]

How did Hans access our bug tracking database in the first place?
You need to be valid user and in our case one of the insight-developers.

The problem was that he filed the bug himself and didn't
assign it to anyone.
But then again he shouldn't have been filing bugs.
It seems as though he was able to bypass the login in page somehow?

Lydia,

I just logged into the web site, and clicked on Bug Tracking, then on=20
"here", then on the "Create Probplem Report: [create]" button.
