what is purpose of close issue permission in Jira?

Question

I have given permission to one user in my workflow to close issue when its in "Resolved" state, But that single user is not able to get that transition button. Also if I remove Close issue permission for that user and provide "Transition Issues" then that user are able to close ticket.

Then what is purpose of close issue permission? and where I can use this?

I have added my workflow and Permission scheme.

The create transition is different to all the other transitions. It has no conditions because conditions are mostly based on information about the current issue, and when you're in the "create", you don't have an issue because the point is that you're creating one! Have a look at any other transition in the workflow. You should find you can add conditions to them, and that one you could add is "user has the you're offered including Close Issue permission.

Hi Nic Brough [Adaptavist],

With that way I can use any permission as a condition for transition. Use of Close and Resolve permission in condition is just a binding over permission with condition. As we can see on create transition of workflow Jira automatically add Validator  "Only users with Create Issues permission can execute this transition"

so same way if we think logically Jira need to add validator automatically on close and resolve transition.
