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

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.:

• https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Questions/permission-to-create-specific-issue-type/qaq-p/339442#33270
• https://community.atlassian.com/t5/JIRA-questions/Restricting-issue-creation-of-certain-types-based-on-user/qaq-p/32785

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

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.
