Prevent specific group from executing workflow transitions in Jira

[amit.bakst]

Hi Everyone,
I would like to know how I Prevent specific group from executing workflow transitions in Jira.
Is it through a condition or validator and if I need to use a build-in expression I would appreciate it if you could tell me what I need to write there.

Thanks in advance,
Amit

Hi @amit.bakst 

You must include in a transition a condition in which you allow the execution to the groups that you indicate in the same one, for example:

And then include the groups you allow to execute the transition:

I hope it helps you

Hi @Paloma Fondon Araujo,
thanks for your response.
I want to prevent one group from making the transition,
So I want to go the negative way, instead of coming and saying who can (which is all groups except one), I want to say that specifically, this one group cannot.

There isn't a standard condition for blocking a group, you have to say "all groups except this one".  There is no "not" in conditions.

Even if it did, it's more complicated than just "not" - imagine Bob is in group A and you block group A, you're probably going to find that Bob can still execute it, because Bob is quite likely to be in group B, group C, the "can use Jira" group and so-on, none of which you have blocked.

Hey @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-,
Yes, I understand. However, I would like to know how is it possible to do that: "all groups except this one"?

Please see the first paragraph in my previous comment.
