jira.permission.edit.group=jira-administrators means that only JIRA administrators can edit an issue

Question

Hi Team,

i want only a specific group of users to edit the issue once it is closed.

I applied the below property in the closed status properties -

Property -jira.permission.edit.group

Value - jira-administrators

But the above property is not working.

Addition to Max response:

In case anyone else stumbles on this same issue, please verify if the permission scheme isn't allowing for user roles that allow a greater group of people to edit issues.

If there are only user groups specified in the permission scheme, the jira.permission.edit.group property seems to work fine, restricting access, but the roles in the permission scheme seem to be bypassing the property check.

This should do the trick. :)
