How to restrict Certain Issue Type for particular project role or user group?

Question

We have a set of business users who we only want to create 'Epics', the rest of the issue types shouldn't be available for them while creating a new issue. but they should be allowed to view/edit them (e.g. story, bug)

I have clubbed such users in a user group and mapped it to a project role.

How can I achieve it without script runner or additional plugin?

Hi @Tomislav Tobijas @Maciej Dudziak _Forgappify_ @Pasam Venkateshwarrao

I can restrict it through the Worfklow by adding a 'Permission Validator'. But its a reactive approach rather active. Its frustrating for user to fill out the form and upon submission we're telling you don't have the permission.

I'm still unable to understand the purpose of the 'Issue Level Security Scheme'. It doesn't make sense to me. Can it be leveraged for this purpose? If yes, how?

otherwise, what's the purpose of this issue level security, and blog or document I could be referred to?
