Permissions Within A Jira Project

[James Lewis]

Hi,

I think I already know the answer to this - but thought I'd ask as I may be wrong as Im still quite new to Jira. My question is, is it possible for permissions to be edited within an existing project to allow "partial" permissions to be granted to someone.

Basically I have someone who is a Administrator and Developer in a project, and as such their is one filed they can update the content in that other people without the Administrator permissions but we don't simply want to give everyone Administrator permissions for this purpose. 

So I guess Im asking can Jira permissions levels be set for individual Fields in a project - personally I don't believe it is possible but I thought I'd ask to make sure :-)

Thanks Everyone :-)

No not per se, but consider the following workaround:

* Remove the field from the edit screen .

* Create a global transition "set field A" and add "field A" to the screen associated with this transition.

* Set condition on this transition to allow only a specific group to make this transition and add your users to this group.

neat?
