workflow permission

[Deleted user]

I have a workflow for change management.

the workflow currently is set to only allow users in the  "change management approvers" group to approve changes.. however i'd also like to add a condition that denies the reporter. so that if the reporter is also a "change management approver" they can't just push the item through the workflow. 

I was thinking of using condition "Value Field"  but wasn't quite sure who to set it so Reporter =/= Approver

Hi @[deleted]

Try Workflow Enhancer for Jira. Is is a good option if you want to compare fields.

Cheers!

Thank you.

did a [user]={assignee} check that must be false in order to move the step forward.

Hi @[deleted],

You don't need any plugins to do this, just configure it as follows:

Thanks Ollie!

jira.permission.edit.denied=assignee

so i input the command to the above and just ran a workflow and was able to self approve.

adding a snip of workflow for reference - 

     What I am trying to achieve is that at the step "awaiting approval" that who ever is assessing the step also can't approve it (should have two person verification)

because we are such a small office those of us who would be assessing the work needed to be done are also in the group that allows us to approve work. so we are trying to set it up so that If I am doing the work i can't approve the changes another colleague would.

ended up using the plugin that @Leo Diaz - Deiser gave.

had a simple solution of doing a [user]=assignee variable that I used.

Thank you for your input though!
