jira.permission.edit.group=jira-administrators means that only JIRA administrators can edit an issue

[Shrikant Maheshwari]

Hi Team,

i want only a specific group of users to edit the issue once it is closed.

I applied the below property in the closed status properties -

Property -jira.permission.edit.group

Value - jira-administrators

But the above property is not working.

Hi Shrikant,

your key-value pair looks fine as long as the group is existing in your instance. I guess your permission scheme is also allowing the editing of issues to a lot of users or a group which jira-administrators are members of? Works for me:

For me it's worked fine!

Addition to Max response:

In case anyone else stumbles on this same issue, please verify if the permission scheme isn't allowing for user roles that allow a greater group of people to edit issues.

If there are only user groups specified in the permission scheme, the jira.permission.edit.group property seems to work fine, restricting access, but the roles in the permission scheme seem to be bypassing the property check.

This should do the trick. :)
