Jenkins user configure “Extended Email Job Watching”, but No configuration available

Question

I want that the signed users can select to receive which jobs' email notification. I installed the Ext. email notification plug-in, and enabled it in the jobs, and enabled watching for jobs in the overall configuration. but I still can't see anything in the user's property page display. enter image description here

I believe you have to activate that feature in the Global Settings: See: [ https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Email-ext+plugin#Email-extplugin-Globalconfiguration] and look for the checkbox "Enable watching for jobs"; as an administrator, you would want to also enable the triggers that you want users to be able to subscribe to (default is a limited set).

This will still leave the user "Configure" screen with no possible action. Users have to subscribe to specific triggers from the job page itself, using a link (not in the left margin menu, but on the main page) named "Watch Job" whihc takes you to a separate page to choose the triggers. Then this will show in the User's Configure page.
