Let's say I have three columns, State 1, State 2, and State 3.
I want only user Alice to be able to move a card from State 1 to State 2, but only user Bob to be able to move a card from State 2 to State 3.
Or it could be done at the level of role or group permission, i.e. only Developers can move a card from State 1 to State 2, but only Testers can move it from State 2 to State 3.
Is there a power-up or configuration option that will facilitate this behavior?
@jccockre here is a Trellinator script that would allow you to configure who is allowed to move from designated lists or into designated lists:

Your permission board would have a bunch of lists with names like "into Stage 3" and "from Stage 1" with one card per person allowed to take that action -- the default will just be to allow the move if there are no permissions set, and the user would receive a notification that they weren't allowed to do that action.
Hi Jason,
Unfortunately, Trello doesn't currently support that level of granularity in permission. Once someone has access to a board, they have full access to that board, but I'll be sure to let the team know this is something you'd like to see in the future!

I got a same requirement. There should be an option for role based access to lists and cards, without it would be a challenge in setting up workflows.

Role-based permissions is the way to go here! Would make everybody's lives 1000 times easier with large teams

Yeah, we have the same need. I think intuitively we should have a setting where only people added to a given card can move the card. Otherwise the entire adding-member-to-card functionality seems pretty useless if it's just a decorative mailing list thing...

I would like to have a Scrum Lead role that can move cards around, while assignees can only edit within the card, but are not allowed to move them, building up accountability

Just in case anyone stumbles across this in future, i came up with a workable solution for my small business whereby i wanted to prevent people moving cards in to a users "in progress" list directly rather than their "to do" list.
I created an automation rule stating:
Trigger
"when a card is added to the list '[USER] In Progress' by anyone except [USERID]"
Action
"move the card to bottom of list [USER] To Do"
This concept might work if you build up enough automation rules, however this is likely not a workable solution for a board with numerous members/large organisation

TA -
Great solution for small groups as you state.
I am posting to thank you...
and to add to the list of users requiring this feature - on/off controls for restricting movement of cards by member.

I have the opposite problem, I want to move a card to another board and it won't let me
