How to restrict editing of a issue after it being moved to a specific transition.

Question

I am using this for change management, and I have this case where i want to restrict editing issue to a certain group after the issue has been moved to an "approved" transition state.

so the change requester creates the issue which has status "draft" once the user is done filling all the details, he changes the status of the issue to "waiting for approval" after which it is moved to approved status. What I want is that once approved, only administrators should be able to edit it. any suggestions or feedback.

You can use workflow properties to achieve this: http://www.j-tricks.com/tutorials/permissions-based-on-workflow-status
