Separate Permissions for each Issue Type

Question

Hi All,

Is it possible to have different permissions for different Issue Types?

Eg, I would like to restrict which users can change the status (Transition Issues) of an Epic, as opposed to other Issue Types, which they will all be allowed to Transition.

Thanks for your help,

David

Hi  @David Boon

No. This is not supported (and will not be supported) by Jira due to the added complexity.

For the create permission, however, there is a workaround: You can use a separate workflow for Epic and in that workflow you can add a condition to the create transition. The creation of an issue (from the gray circle to the first status) is seen by Jira as a transition in the workflow. Have a look at the documentation article below to understand how you can add a condition to that transitions so that only certain users can perform it:
