How to exclude specific jira user from required approval in a workflow ?

[Ellery Giron Rosales]

I have created a change management project that will require approval. I understand how to set up approvals in the workflow but i need excluded specific user to by-pass the approval process workflow and I have no idea how to create or find a solution.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @Ellery Giron Rosales 

Welcome to the community.

Create a transition in the workflow that can only be used by a certain user(s) or group(s), to bypass the approval

Hi @Ellery Giron Rosales Welcome to the community!

You can create an automation rule to skip the approval for a particular user or you can add a workflow post function to skip the approval based on the user condition.

Hi @Manoj Gangwar  how do you created a post function. do you have any details that can help me. 

Thank you,

We have a JMWE plugin for transitioning the issues based on the workflow post-function. If you don't have the plugin then I would suggest you to use automation rule.
