Is it possible to give users permissions to only be able to delete a certain issue type? (ie - can delete bugs, but not stories....)
Not really, permissions (such as delete) are project level items, not issue-type
Jason,
You can achieve this my creating different workflows (e.g. one for bugs and one for stories). In the Bugs Workflow you leave it as it is, and the Stories Workflow you can set properties on the steps as per this blog post in order to remove the permission to delete the issues.
That is, you'd need to add a jira.permission.delete.denied = denied property to all the steps in the Stories Workflow as per this documentation. Alternatively, you can use jira.permission.delete.group = jira-administrators for example so that only admins can delete issues.
It's a bit of work, but it's certainly possible.
Thanks for the input.
Anytime. Let me know if you need any further help with this.
Hi Matheus,
Works perfectly.Out of 6 issue types in a project, I had to allow reporters to delete their own issues (For Four Issue types) and no users other than Jira-Admins should have the permission to delete the other two issue types.So just like you suggested, I provided the "Delete Issue" permission to the "Reporters" in the Permission Scheme of the project and added those properties for each state inĀ the workflow of the two issue types.Thank You Very Much!
Best Regards,Manish
