System configuration JIRA CLOUD : restrictions to watchers of an issue

I would like to add the "add comments" permission only for ticket watchers, but I don't see this group in the permissions system configuration; Is there a way to do this?

 

thank you

Not that I know of unfortunately. At least not natively. 

The watchers of an issue are not added to a group or field so you can't access this information on the fly. You could potentially find the watcher through the api

e.g.

/rest/api/2/issue/{Issue-Id}/watchers
