How can I give user permissions for a single issue type

Question

I have created a new Issue type in Jira. This issue type is named Hotfix.

My idea would be to restrict the creation of this tickets only to a group.

Could be possible to give create permission for an specific jira group?

Thank you for your help

Hi @Oriol Ortiz

If you're following my recommendation above, and duplicating an existing Workflow - these are the steps:

* Go to Settings (cog icon in top-right) > Issues
* Select Workflows from the left-hand menu
* Locate the relevant Workflow to duplicate - then on the right-hand side of the row, select the Actions button (3-dots icon) > Copy
* Rename the copied Workflow, and press Copy again
* Next, select the "Create Transition" - which is the arrow going from the grey circle into the first Status
* Select Validators from the pop-up menu
* In the next menu, select the hyperlink Add validator
* Next, choose the option Permission Validator and press Add
* Choose the relevant permission to limit this Workflow to, and press Add again

Once you have the Workflow created, you will need to modify the Workflow Scheme - to assign the Issue Type to it - and re-publish the Scheme.

Note: The error message for this will be permissions-related, which isn't a great user experience - but it will work as required.
