By default, EP does not show certain roles such as developers everyone else assigned to a project's activities. Generally, this permission is set using the "Members and assignees - View and manage" checkbox in a global role or "Members and assignees - View" in a project, but in many cases you don't want to give users the ability to manage users.
If you want every user, regardless of role to see who else is assigned to activities they can see, you need to add a modification to the Web.Config file, which is found in the EP root folder (where all of ep's files reside), and edit it with NOTEPAD only.
Search for the following line/tag:
<EP4CompatibilityOptions>TaskCreatorInMessageNotifications</EP4CompatibilityOptions>
change it to this:
| <EP4CompatibilityOptions>TaskCreatorInMessageNotifications,TaskAssigneesAlwaysVisible</EP4CompatibilityOptions> |
By enabling this option, all users will be able to see other assignees in activities for which the permissions allow them to view - this is important to remember the distinction of seeing activities to which they have been assigned vs. all activities, which again goes back to the permissions for their role.
As well, this is an all users tag, so all of your users regardless of their role or permission will see assignees.
NOTE. The 'TaskAssigneesAlwaysVisible' parameter will not give users possibility to see project managers.

As always, make a backup of the web.config file before you edit it, in case you need to revert back to the original.
