Creating a Read Only user in Jira

Elior Odinak

I need to create a read-only group in Jira. I went ahead and created one and only gave them "Browse Project" capability. From what I understand, I now need to go into each workflow and set a condition so that all other groups can transition in the workflow other than my read-only group.

Is there a way to set a condition that just says read-only CANNOT transition in the workflow? Otherwise I have to add like 5 conditions to each transition to each workflow for all my projects. Is there a way to add just one condition that simply states that this group is the only group that cannot do this?

Alternatively, is there a simpler way to set up a read only group in Jira? It was super easy in Confluence, but does not seem to be as straight forward a set-up in Jira.

Yes, I read this one. The issue I have is I'm going to need to add like 5 conditions to every transition to 3 separate workflows. I was wondering if there was a way to add 1 condition that says this group is the group that DOES NOT have permission to do this. The way this is set up, the condition is for a particular group that CAN do this action which means I need to add every group vs just adding 1 group that can't do it. Hope that makes sense.

Hi @Elior Odinak,

If you are on jira 6.3 or above you will be seeing "Transition Issues" permission in permission scheme, and If you are not adding your read-only group/user here they won't have permission to make any transitions

Elior Odinak

I didn't add the group there and the user can still transition. The only permission they are added to is the Browsing permission, so they can see the projects.

Hi @Elior Odinak,

Can you give more details on this

Jira version? if it is on 6.3 or above check this "Transition Issues" permission who are all having access/permission

Elior Odinak

Jira Software Cloud.

I checked the transition issues permission and the only ones who have access are "Application access: Any logged in user" and some Project role for atlassian add-ons. So not my group or role that I created for Read Only users.
