How to allow a specific group to assign a task only to themselves?

How to allow a specific group to assign a task only to themselves? or allow one group assign task to another group? 

Other condition: I have multiple different groups with different assign permissions. I use cloud version of Jira.

Hi @Andrey Holovko ,

The permission to assign tasks depends on the Assign Issue permission. You can configure different groups to have this permission and they would be able to assign the ticket. However, you won't be able to restrict it to only assign the issue to themselves as if they have the permission, they can assign to anyone who has the Assignable user permission.

However, if you use a workflow step to assign the issue, you can limit the users who can transition the issue from the Assign status to groups/roles of the project. To use this, add a condition to the workflow. See https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/advanced-workflow-configuration-776636620.html#Advancedworkflowconfiguration-conditions

Thanks for your reply.

I wanted to give an ability to our clients to have access to assign a task to themselves, and we did not used workflow for this.

However, we have added workflow transition that returns same step and assigns issue to current user, using POST functions. Looks like this: https://prnt.sc/pql679
