Controlling Who Can Move Items Between Swimlanes?

Ryan Zore

Hello,

My use case involves the need to control who can move an item from Needs Testing to -> Tested. 

Specifically we need to make sure that the person who moved the item into Needs Testing cannot move it into Tested.  

I have looked at the setting up swimlanes documentation and was not able to find any info on how to do this.  

 

Thanks in advance.

@Ryan Zore, this is controlled via the workflow. If you have admin rights then you can edit the workflow and set up a condition on the specific transition from 'Needs Testing' --> 'Tested'. There are a couple conditions you could consider:

• Only Assignee - if the only person that can perform the transition is the assignee this works well
• Permission Condition - anyone that has the specified permissions can execute the transition
• Separation of Duties condition - Condition preventing a user to perform the transition, if the user has already performed a transition on the issue
• User is in Group - you can define a group of folks allowed and then use this condition to restrict

there are others so have a look at adding a Condition to the specific transition.
