restrict which users can move an issue

Question

Hello together,

I am working currently in JIRA Cloud on a Kanban board with admin rights.

I am trying to restrict which users can move in Issue in my project.

What I have done so far is: I added the workflow properties.

So I picked the status "To do" and added:

Property key: jira.permission.group.move

Property value: I added the group ID (749019fc-80fb-46a4-894c-11a86eb03486)

And still users outside of this group are able to move the tickets into the next status.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you soo much for you help!

Thank you for trying it out

Could you please validate if you have published the workflow correctly and also transition issue permission is not set to any logged in user

If all good and still users are able to transition other than the role, please reach out to support : https://support.atlassian.com/contact/

Team can take access and check your workflow

Thank You,

Prachi

Hey everyone,

thank you so much for your help. 
So I did what you all recommended.

I set conditions to each transition saying "Only users in project role xy can execute this transition.

But still.. it doesn´t work and everyone is able to move into every status....

Any idea what I am still doing wrong?

Thank you so much!!

Hi @Miriam Grühn ,

You can try using the workflow condition I’m providing. Follow the steps below.

Use Conditions on Workflow Transitions

Go to your Workflow Editor (Project Settings → Workflows).

Click on the transition (e.g., from "To Do" → "In Progress").

Click "Conditions".

Add a “User Is In Group” condition.

Enter the group name (not the group ID).

Only users in this group will be able to execute this transition.
