Resctricing some users from creating a issuetype but able to edit/change status(in progress,done..)

I have Project, "Project A" in jira, I need to restrict few users from creating the Issue type=Story but they should be able to edit the story which is created. Also make sure they can create other issuetypes. The Workflow for the story is independent workflow assigned to it.

There is no easy way to do this, create issue permission gives you the right to create all types in the project (although there are a couple of apps which can stop people selecting certain issue types in some of the create screens, these don't work for all places, REST for example, and people can bypass them with a little effort)

There is a somewhat ugly way to do it - if you put a validator on the "create" transition in the workflow, you can check the user's config and the issue type selected and fail validation so the issue can't be created.  This is not pleasant because people could lose all the data they've just typed in.
