How to restrict workflow transition to "Automation for Jira"?

Mashu Duek
February 12, 2021

Info: Free tier, Next-gen software project

ISSUE:

When creating a git branch I am moving a card from "SELECTED FOR DEV" to "IN PROGRESS" through an automation trigger. I would like to be able to limit that transition so that the only one who can move it is the actor of that trigger (the Jira bot). Jira defaults the actor of the trigger to be "Automation for Jira". 

ATTEMPTED: 

I've visited Project Settings -> Access to see if I could find the user Automation for Jira, in hopes of being able to apply the restriction to Admin users only, but Automation for Jira is not there.

Screenshots:
