Restricting move issues to another space(from space to space) + restricting reopen issues in Jira

[Kamil Steinbach]

Hello, there is a lot of informations about this topic, but i dont know if they're actual for this date and version of our Jira setup.

We use Jira version 7.3.6.

I need two simple things.

1. I need to restrict in global way to move issues to another space for all users. I mean from space to another space. What is the easiest way to do that?

2. In global way for all users i need also to restrict permissions to reopen all issues if they are closed. 

For second task, i know i must propably delete all transitions for reopen in all workflows, but this is the most nonhandy way, because it is a really lot of to do :D

I dont know any other circumstances that can cause this restrictions that we want to do. If you can give me exact informations i'll apreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Permissions like this are done at a project level, not global.  You will need to amend each permission scheme to remove the rights you currently have granted to people for these.

For the reopen permission, look at the workflow that has the "reopen" transition on it.  Check the conditions that permit people to re-open.  You probably want to add one that says "only allow reopen if user is in project role X" (For a complete hard block on it, just remove the transition from the workflow)

To remove "move" permissions, you need to look at both ends of the transaction.  To stop people moving issues out of a project, take away the permission for "move issue" from the source project.  To stop them moving an issue into another project, take away their "create issue" rights in the target project.
