NewB Question

Hi
First of all, congradulation for a good looking and easy to use application.

Have a couple of NewB questions:
1. I am the sole developer of applications in the company and I want other technical people to simply report bugs. I dont want them to set Due Dates etc and I want "Assigned To" to default to me (the only name) instead of them having to pick it each time. However, I do want to set Due Date on issues. Do I create two projects, one for me and for them or can I turn on and off features based on user permission?

2. Related question, is it possible to Turn on and Off some fields? for instance "Milestones" is a neat feature but I don't use it .

Thanks!

Re: NewB Question

Just adding as supporting comment that the less compulsory fields the better.

An option to require the field filled or not (left in a blank valid state) would be perfect. I tried FogBugz a while back and it demonstrated this minimal required field concept. The idea is that any extra steps required reduces the chance the software will be used due to the human 'can't be bothered' / 'wasting my precious time' reality.
