Hello,

You can create a separate workflow for the Bug issue type and add the jira.permission.edit.group workflow property to each status:

jira.permission.edit.group=tester-group

You can find more info here:

Hi Alex,

Yes, this is what i have done. But is there any other easy way? Because i have to keep adding in each transition.

Thanks,
Santhosh

you need any automation plugin which provide conditions inside the work flows. For example in Script runner, you can add condition that only a specific role can perform a transition.
