Workflow conditions

[Anthony Bustamante]

What am I miss understanding about transitions. 

It appears that in order for a user to change an issues status, they must have the "Transition Issue" permission. For the most part everyone in my project should be able to change statuses. However, there are one or two transitions that I only want my admin team to be able to use. I added my admins to a group and added a condition to the transition such that "only users in group" <group name> "can execute the transition". 

The user I'm testing this with are in the the groups "jira-software-users" which has the "Transition Issue" permission and they are also in "beta test" which the transition condition is set for.

Despite all these settings all users in the "jira-software-users" group are able to move between all statuses. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Anthony - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You should not use jira-software-users for the Transition Issue permission if you want to control who can do it. I suggest you link that permission to a Project Role and not a group. Then you can control who is in that project role and therefore who can move it. 

Another way to handle it would be to just allow users in a project role the permission to execute that transition.
