Workflow steps Permission

[Samir Freelance]

How to configure the permission on a workflow?

My workflow has many steps

I want the user only to create or close the issue..

Then the assignee or project leader only can use the workflow

Again, you should really try a quick search in the standard documentation before asking here. For this case see http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+Workflow

Look at the "transitions" on the steps. They have three tabs - Conditions, Validators and Post-functions. Conditions are what you need to add here, because you say things like "only users with close permission can use this transition" and/or "only users in group X can do this"

Nic, you have a lot of patience :)
