Is there a way to base a Jira Automation condition off of a user's role?

Steven Johnson_e13aja

We have a permission scheme for an action that allows both Admins and Developers permission, but there are certain cases where I would like to only allow an Administrator to be able to perform an action. I was thinking that I could create an Automation rule that would check an initiator's user role, but I cannot seem to find if that is even possible or not. Is there a smart value that can be used to return the user role value? Thanks!

There isn't a smart value for the user that would get you the project role they belong to, so you have two options. You could either create a manual automation and only allow a specific group to run it or the other option would be in the automation use the web hook component to get the project role and then check if the user is in the role you want them to be in before the automation proceeds.
