Restricting Workflow Users to Create issues

[curt klyn]

Is there are transition property to restrict the issue creation on a workflow. I want to be able to allow only one user to have the ability to create a specific issuetype and workflow.

@curt klyn You can set a validator on the "Create" transition in your workflow to allow only a user(s) with a particular permission to create an issue. You will not be able to specify a particular role, group, or user since the "Create" transition doesn't offer conditions.

If you did want to use a validator to specify a particular permission, you can create a new workflow scheme, design a separate workflow for the issue you want the sole user to create, add the validator into that workflow, associate the workflow with the issue type, and associate the project with your workflow scheme. The default workflow should apply to all other issue types or you can also associate your modified general workflow with the new workflow scheme.
