Restrict permission to send mails

[Tobias]

Hello all,

I have been wondering for a while whether it is possible to restrict the permission to send mails in Jira to individual users.

We use the "E-Mail this Issue" plugin for sending external mails. Since we could save a lot of impact by restricting this, I was wondering if this is possible in any way. We currently use Jira 8.5.x and we will soon update to 8.13.x. 

So maybe someone has an idea how to implement this. 

Thank you

Hey @Tobias ,

I'm guessing you mean the manual emails? The button that is in the issue?

You can indeed limit it through the JETI configuration:

Permissions and Restrictions

Permissions determine who can send issues in emails from the view issue screen or from the issue navigator. Permissions are not applied when emails are sent from the post-function or upon issue events, but only in cases when users are sending emails manually.

Permissions may include project roles and groups.

With restrictions you can exclude project roles, groups and custom fields from possible values of recipients. You can use this to prevent cases like emails being sent to all JIRA users unintentionally.
