Assign permissions for different user groups for specific issue types

[Sally Wheeler]

I have different groups of people in my department who have restrictions to perform certain tasks within a project. I cannot use the project permissions to control permissions as this applies to the entire project. I need to assign permissions for different issue types using the user groups. Can you please direct me how to do this?

Hi @Sally Wheeler and welcome!

I believe you will have to use third party app to help you with this. I am no coder but I do know that this has been done with for example Scriptrunner. Like in the code below, the creation of Issue Type "Story" is limited to those users in the "Product Owner" role:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRoleManager

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.ISSUE_TYPE

def projectRoleManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(ProjectRoleManager)

def allIssueTypes = ComponentAccessor.constantsManager.allIssueTypeObjects

def user = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser

def issueTypeField = getFieldById(ISSUE_TYPE)

def availableIssueTypes = []

def remoteUsersRoles = projectRoleManager.getProjectRoles(user, issueContext.projectObject)*.name

if ("Product Owner" in remoteUsersRoles)

{

allIssueTypes.each { issueType ->

availableIssueTypes.add( issueType )

}

issueTypeField.setFieldOptions(availableIssueTypes)

}

else {

allIssueTypes.each { issueType ->

if ( issueType.name != "Story")

{

availableIssueTypes.add( issueType )

}

}

issueTypeField.setFieldOptions(availableIssueTypes)

}
