How do I view workflow

[Hui Zhang]

I am a member, not administrator. Where do I view workflows?

I thought at one time I saw this option within the window of an epic but can't find it now.

Hi @Hui Zhang , If you click on the Status in an issue. Do you then get the choice 'View Workflow'?

Yes, now I remember! Thanks for the speedy reply!

If your Jira admin has configured the permission View read-only workflow in the permission scheme in the project then you just have to click on the status and you can view it from there.

I have a group of my users with Browse Project and View Read-Only Workflow permissions, then, they can see the tickets in read-only mode, but they cannot see the Workflow.

The message "You don't have permission to transition this issue and view the associated workflow" is displayed.

Is there any another permission or configuration that I should set to allow my users to see the ticket's workflow but not to transition the ticket?

[Mikael Sandberg]

@Santiago Estel In order for a user to be able to view the read-only version of the workflow they have to have transition issue permission, there is no other way of giving them access to the workflow.

That's sound a little weird, I have a customer that needs to see the ticket's workflow but not have permission to transition the ticket.

In a sense, the View Read-Only Workflow permission is useless.

Any ideas of why Atlassian set this configuration?

I am just guessing but since transitions and workflow are related, that is why those two permissions are related.
