→Administrative Questions: Add an answer about check_can_change field, and cleanup the mid-air question
=Administrative Questions=
==Does Bugzilla provide record locking when there is simultaneous access to the same bug? Does the second person get a notice that the bug is in use or how are they notified?==
Bugzilla does not lock records.It provides "mid-air collision " detection --, which means that it warns a user when a commit is about to conflictwith commits recently made by another user,and offers the second user a choice of options to deal with the conflict.
==Can users be on the system while a backup is in progress?==
Yes. You should use the commands included with your database software to run the backups of your Bugzilla data. You can find strategies for dealing with backup considerations at http://www.mysql.com/doc/B/a/Backup.html for MySQL and at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/backup.html for PostgreSQL.
==Can I restrict a user's ability to edit certain bug fields?==
Yes, but it requires code changes. You have to edit the <code>check_can_change_field</code> subroutine in the file <tt>Bugzilla/Bug.pm</tt>. The file has many comments to help guide your edits.
==How do I make it so that bugs can have an UNCONFIRMED status?==
