How to restrict some issue types to some groups ?

[Avi Ziv]

We have several subcontractors that should allow to work only in one Issue type from many that releated to same project.

How can i set that limitation?

Using Jira Versiion 6.4.13

You can use permission scheme for it. 

But it is not allowd directly, since there is an idea:

1. create a new field for group
2. make it mandatory for this issue type 
3. fill it with proper value 
4. set permission to see/make tranitors for value of this field.

Hi Avi,

there's no official solution for your question. Atlassian closed the ticket for this request as won't fix: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-5865

There are a few workarounds, you can find here in the community, e.g.:

Jira Workflow Toolbox should also do the trick (but it is not for free)
