Hi @SBT IT
There is one way I know of doing this on Cloud without an add-on - but it is a workaround. You can change the create validator on each issue type's workflow to a different permission that a limited group have access to.
To accomplish this - you'll need:
- A separate workflow for each group of issue types you want to restrict. So if there was a different group of users for every issue type, each would need a unique workflow.
- Group(s) of users to be part of the special "create" group - you can manage groups in User Management
- A unique permission that each group has access to
So, for example, in our instance "Delete All Comments" is a Project Admin-only permission. If I wanted to restrict it so only Project Admins could create Epics I could:
- Add a new workflow for an Epic and enter edit mode
- Click on the Create transition and select Validators
- Remove the default create validator "Only users with Create Issues permission can execute this transition" by pressing the "x" when hovering over this row
- Press Add Validator and choose Permissions Validator and press Add
- Select the permission unique to my Project Admins - "Delete All Comments" and press Add
- Publish the Workflow (inc. adding it to the workflow schemes, etc)
^ Any user will still be able to select Epic in the create screen, but with the above published they'll receive an error when trying to publish their creation. The error isn't very clear as it will simply say the user doesn't have the "Delete All Comments" permission (in the above example) - but it does achieve what you need without an add-on.

You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
