How to only allow administrators to control the addition of issues for active sprints?

hi,

    How to only allow administrators to control the addition of issuses for active sprints, and allow users to freely add issuses for sprints that have not yet started?

Hi @ninghongju

For just allow admin to control the addition of issues for active sprints: there is a permission about manage sprints in Jira. But the permission allows the actions about the sprint such as: creating, starting, completing, reopening, reordering, deleting, editing sprints information, moving the sprint footer. So, if you would like to prevent users from doing this, please restrict their Schedule Issues and/or Edit Issues permissions.

I think you can't allow user add issue to inactive sprints without allow permission for them. But if you allow the permission to do so, they can also control the action of adding issue to active sprints.

I hope this helps!

hi @Y Dang_Candylio 

Thank you for your answer.

In my team now, the POs need schedule issues to the next sprint, so must allow them.

But team managers want to reduce uncontrolled Requirements Changes.
I need control the action of adding issue to active sprints.

Editing the description of issues in an active sprint is not even allowed, only allow administrators to do.

How to solve these two problems？

Hi @ninghongju

For your case, I think you should grant Edit issue permission for those who want to edit issue. (If you want to restrict them from adding issue to sprint, you shouldn't grant Schedule issue permission as well)

I hope this helps!
