How can I limitate the permission for issue's creation? Edited

[Carlo Anapoli]

Hi everybody,

I would like to prevent the possibility, for some users, to create some kind of issues but let them to create sub-task only. Is it possible to config the permissions in order to obtain it?

As alternative, can I set the Project Lead as default reporter for each issue?

Many thanks!

Carlo

Hi @Carlo Anapoli ,

On a project level you can set the issue create permission but that applies to the whole project.

If you want to limit the creation for a specific issue type you will need to play with the workflow. On the initial step you can set the folowing:

jira.permission.create.group

I always tend to go back to this article: https://www.j-tricks.com/tutorials/permissions-based-on-workflow-status# 

Project lead as default reporter might be trickier. you can try setting it through a postfunction on the first transition.

Thank you @Dirk Ronsmans

The workflow idea seems very interesting.

Thanks again!
