We assign tasks in projects to employees (users) with due dates to track their progress. As it stands now, the assignee can change the due date or assign the task to someone else. Is there a way to restrict this to only administrators?
Hello @Sherri Queen
Are you working with projects in a Company Managed project or a Team Managed project?
For a Company Managed project, there is an Assign Issues permission in the Permission Scheme associated with a project. That permission is used to specify who can set the Assignee field in issues in that project.
The ability to set the Due Date field is based on the Schedule Issues permission.
A Jira Administrator can modify the Permission Scheme settings to change who is granted those permissiosns.
Ah! Thanks Trudy. I am working in a "Team Managed" project. Is it possible to change the restrictions within those settings?
Based on this documentation it seems like you would be able to do that by creating a custom role with the permissions customized. The ability to set Assignee and edit Due Date are called out as distinct permissions.
I will take a look at it. Thanks.
