By default, commenting and reopening of Requests is allowed for all Request Categories. SeeClickFix is designed to be a way for citizens and local governments to connect on issue resolution, and central to this design is communication. However, there are some types of issues and types of users that are more difficult than others. User restrictions can help limit and reduce unnecessary commenting and issue reopening on Requests.
When viewing a Request that has an action restriction, end users will see the following message over the area where commenting and status changes would be located: "Public commenting and status changes are not available for this issue."
Important Note: After implementing restrictions, users on older versions of the Android and iOS app may experience an error message. We recommend troubleshooting these error messages by recommending that users update their app.
