Restricting the availability of workflow
transitions
Workflow transitions, by default, are accessible to anyone who has access to the issue.
There will be times when you would want to restrict access to certain transitions. For ex-
ample, you might want to restrict access to the
Move to Backlog
transition for the follow-
ing reasons:
• The transition should only be available to users in specific groups or project roles
• Since the transition is a global transition, it is available to all the workflow
statuses, but it does not make sense to show the transition when the issue is already
in the
Backlog
status
To restrict the availability of a workflow transition, we can use workflow conditions.
