Limit permission to change to a certain status

[Marco]

Hey there,

is the following possible:

Project has Status 1,  Status 2, Status 3, Status 4,  Status 5.

every user is able to change between status 1 to 4 but only a single user is allowed to set the status 5? If yes how can this be done?

Hi @Marco ,

The above mentioned functions can be implemented through workflow configuration.

Add Condition To Transition

By limiting specific roles, people, groups, etc.

Thank you for your quick reply @Ollie Guan . Exactly what i needed!

I STRONGLY advise you use roles or groups, not people. Roles give the project lead the most control. Using individual users on the condition will cause you to have to modify the workflow eventually when that user leaves or goes on vacation.

yes i had already created a group for this for the one user but thanks for the note nevertheless @Joe Pitt :)

@Elisavet Axavidou the one with "User is in custom field?

if so you can find it when you edit a workflow, click on the transition line and then on conditions
