the ability to change the status for some groups

[Владимир Басин]

Hello! Is it possible to restrict the movement of cards of Kanban from certain statuses for some groups of project participants? At the same time, the ability to move from other statuses should remain. For example: moving from the status in development to the status completed can be performed only by a certain group of users, and moving from the backlog to the status selected for development by all user groups. Thank you

Hi @Владимир Басин , welcome to the Community!

You would apply such a condition through the workflow. If you are using a company-managed project, you can click on the transition into the status you want to restrict and add a Condition which looks for a user's group (or project role). You would then add the group or role, publish the workflow and then only users in that group/role would be able to transition to that status. This will be applied to the boards if the status is mapped to a column.

If you are using a Team-managed project, then you will need to go into Project Settings > Issue Types, click on the issue type and then on 'Edit Workflow'. Click on the transition you wish to restrict, then add a rule to only allow certain users to see and use the transition. Note that this can only be done for project roles in a team-managed project.

Hope this helps!
