Amending workflows so only some users can change status

Sarah Hughes

We are looking to amend our workflows on JIRA so that only some users can change the status on issues - for example, only PMs or the Dev Lead can assign an issue as closed. Is there a way to do this? Maybe be using groups?

This is done through adding a set of people to a group then amend your workflow.

Go into settings, projects, choose your project. Then amend the workflow in drawing mode. click edit.

Click on the line linking status's and add a condition such as "Only users in Group "QA TEAM" can execute this transition"

 

then publish the workflow.

I would very strongly recommend using Roles rather than groups.  It's more flexible and allows for easier re-use.

You should add the User Is In Role or User is In Group condition to the required transitions. You can read more about conditions here:
