Can I restrict the creation of epics in a project?

I need to restrict the creation of epics in a project, so that no more epics can be created than those that are already there.

Hi @Manuela Tabares Acevedo 

This option can not be achieved using the features provided by JIRA itself, however, you can use a permission validator and require the user to have a specific project permission instead of a group.

By doing this, you can restrict the creation of Epics to only Administrators, for example. Here are the steps:

- Create a dedicated workflow for your Epics, separated from the other issue types. P.S: If you wish, you can copy any existing workflow and use it for your Epics.

- Click to Edit the Workflow and Add the Permission Validator in the create transition, selecting that the user must have the Administer Projects permission in the project to perform the transition

- Save the workflow draft

For more information about validators, check the documentation below:

- Advanced Workflow Configuration
