Ensure that other can not assign issues to certain user

[Andreas Denzler]

Hello Jira Support People,

what is the best way to ensure that one certain user can not be assigned any more by other users to issues in one project?

Thanks for your ideas and help

Check the permission scheme for the rules about who is an "assignable user" and then change the user's groups/roles (or other characteristics) such that they not longer meet the rules.

Thank you for your help Nic,

but I want it in a slightly different way:

I want that the user is still assignable but can onyl assign issues to him himself.

I just want to lock that other third users can assign issues to a certain users.

Example:

In a project users can assign issues to themselves. Also they can assign issues to other users. But there is also some user, let's call him "boss", who can also assign issues to other users, he can also assign issues to himself, but other users can not assign issues to him.

What would be the easiest way to ensure this?

You can't do this without code.  The right to assign issues is one permission, the right to be assigned to an issue is a separate one.  If you can assign an issue, then you can assign it to anyone who has "assignable user" permission.
