Summary

The user is unable to perform issue transitioning from one status to another status in the project even after having all the required permissions. It shows an error message 'You don't have permission to transition the issue.'

Environment

Jira Cloud

Diagnosis

The user have all the necessary permission to perform workflow transition but still the user is unable to perform issue transition.

Cause

There can be certain workflow conditions from the JSU Automation Suite for Jira Workflows which prevents the workflow transitions.

Solution

Check the workflow transition for all the status. If you find the any condition such as "com.googlecode.jsu.workflow.condition.UserIsInAnyRolesCondition" in workflow transition. This seems to affect overall transitions in the workflow.


This condition are part of the JSU Automation Suite for Jira Workflows (a 3rd party app installed on your site)  that are preventing transitions from being executed.

Removing the condition "com.googlecode.jsu.workflow.condition.UserIsInAnyRolesCondition" on the transitions will resolve the issue and user can perform the workflow transition. Please make to publish the workflow after making the changes.
