How to hide Epics from Kanban view?

[Melvin]

I switched from Scrum to Kanban view and already had some Epics. They're now displayed in the To-Do lane as moveable blocks and don't want Epics to be displayed on the board. The stories are already displaying in which Epic they are by the displayed label and I want to keep that.

How do I hide those Epics from being on my Kanban board?

Found it!

I had copied a workflow and it turned out that in that workflow I found was a validator when an issue was created (transition to Open status)

"...Only users with Administer Projects permission can execute this transition..."

Updated workflow, problem solved

Project permissions are comprised of both Roles and Permission Schemes. You may have a user set in a role User or Administrator, but this role won't have the relevant setting inside the Project's Permission Scheme. 

Go to that project's permissions schemes and make sure the User role is set for the following (at least):

• Browse Projects
• Create Issues
