Restrict all users except for project admins from assigning issues

[Christina Evans]

Hi,

I am having trouble figuring out the correct workflow property to exclude all users except for project admins to assign issues. 

I am working with Jira Software (Cloud) on a team managed project.

Any ideas?

Hello @Christina Evans 

You want only project admins can be assignable to a task , isn't it ?

It's not a workflow property but a permission in the project permission ->  Assignable User (project role Admin) 

To modify this permission you need to be Jira Admin I believe

I am not seeing that option available. Could you possibly provide a screenshot?

Go to the project settings in the left side bar, click on "Permissions" and you will see this permission :

Ah yes, this is a team managed project. My apologies for not including that at the start.

Ok in this case I think you can create an automation rule to avoid members to change the assignee :

The smart value {{fieldchange.fromstring}} restores the previous value.

Perfect! Thank you so much! I have worked all morning on this and you responded and solved it right away.
