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.
