Creating EPIC Permission Control

[Olive Sun]

Hi, 

We want to make sure that only user in a specific group can create the issue type - EPIC and other issue types are still available to all users.

Is it possible to do so? 

Thanks,

Olive

Hello Olive,

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.

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

- Create a dedicated workflow to your Epics, separated from the other issue types. P.S: If you wish, you can copy any existent 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

Let me know if this option works for you or if you need any further help to implement it.
