#Redmine Departments Plugin ##About We needed to be able to track Departments as a separate entity in Redmine, with more flexibility and power than adding Custom Attributes allowed for. Thus, Redmine_Departments was born. You can track departments, as well as basic contact information for each department, and relate departments to issues (many/many relationship). ###Features

• Permissions for Viewing, Creating, and Removing Departments
• Permissions for Viewing, Creating, and Removing Issue->Department relationships

###Version

• Currently at 1.0.1
• Requires Redmine 0.9.x (built/tested on 0.9.6, untested on previous versions, but it should work...)
• Due to a change in Redmine 1.0, Departments won't work without some tweaking. See my cc_addresses plugin for details, as it shares the same issue. (this has been fixed in Redmine, but I don’t know what changes need to be made for _departments to work properly.

###Bugs

• If you find any bugs, or want to request a feature, feel free to contact me (info below) or create an issue here on GitHub.
