Edit Permission depending on status?

[Celik Vedat]

Hi all,

can I give a specific group Edit Permission only in the status "NEW"? I'm pretty sure that this is not applicable per jira default. But with Script Runner ?

best,

vedat

You can do this using workflow property jira.permission.edit.group
You will need to navigate to the group in User Management then copy the Group ID that at the end of the URL.

I was able to prevent all user except a specific group from editing issues while they were in the "Pending Approval" status. When I add the same workflow scheme for the JWM project to a test JSM project, it gave the ability to "Add an approval step" to a status in the workflow. Now, only managers have the ability to change the Approvers and transition issues within this status.

Hello @Celik Vedat,

You can do this natively using workflow properties:

• jira.issue.editable
• jira.permission.edit.group

Hope this helps,

Hello Vedat,

If your group name is the one you typed into property value and you filled those properties to the appropriate transition, it should work.

Make sure that you already given the "Edit Issue" permission to that group in permission scheme. I mean, workflow permissions can only restrict permissions that are defined in the permission scheme. It can not grant permissions that are not in permission scheme.

so this means if I grant edit permission for the group mentioned above, i have to add a property for each status where they shouldn't be able to edit issues?

Like:

jira.issue.editable = false & jira.permissions.edit.group = grp.jira-1-t-bdm-create ?

As far as I know 

1. You should give permission in scheme.
2. And in every status you will restrict by adding below property. 

jira.permissions.edit.group = grp.jira-1-t-bdm-create

Hi Tuncay :)

It should work when using jira.permission.edit.group = group-name

permission word without s

Thanks!
