Is there a way to set up status (NOT transitions) to be limited to specific group or role?

Tzirel Shaffren

Desired goal: I would like eliminate all transitions for Jira issue statuses and limit the actual status by role or group (thus eliminating the spider web of transitions).

Is there a way to do this?

Update: I stumbled upon this property: jira.permission.transition.{user} - would that do it?

Alternatively: Is there some built in Jira functionality that can create a transitions between all states (so that the limit can be associated with the transition instead of the status)?

Hi @Tzirel Shaffren

You can only prohibit people/users/groups/roles to use transitions which lead to statuses. In order for your requirement to work, I would assume that you need to create multiple transitions from each status to others, and use conditions to regulate which groups can use certain transitions.

Hi Tzirel,

The way to control access to Statuses is done by controlling the transitions to the statuses. So, no, there is no way to do away with transitions and only uses statuses.

As for allowing all statuses to go to all statuses, yes, you can do that by using the ALL transitions. To add that, click on the Status in the workflow, and then in the popup to the right, check the box for Allow all statuses to transition to this one. Then you can control access to that transition using Conditions.
