Can assign issue to role not configured for assignation

[sgissinger]

In Redmine menu Administration > Roles and Permissions > Any Role, you can choose to allow issue assignation to the role or not.

In the Issue Pane > Properties, the Assigned to combobox displays every users of the project even if some of them have a role which is not configured to be assignable (like customers).

Unfortunately, I cannot get this information from the REST API. The call roles just returns the role's permissions but not the options "Issues can be assigned to this role" and "Issues visibility".

In order to support this feature anyway, a variable definition was added to the IssueServiceImpl.js file of ITOL 1.4:

    // TODO: Names of roles whose members cannot be assignees.
    // Add one line for each role, that does NOT have checked the option 
    // "Issues can be assigned to this role". 
    // Format ... "rolename" : true, 
    var dontAssignIssuesToThisRoles = {
         "ExampleRoleNameNotAssignee" : true,
    };

Hence, if you want to exclude particular roles from the Assign To combobox, add the role names as described above.
