User Condition
A workflow condition that allows you to hide/show a particular transition from the list of available workflow actions based on either the current user or users in a specific field meeting certain criteria, such as being the reporter or assignee, belonging to certain groups or project roles, satisfying a Groovy condition, etc.
To add a 'User Condition' to a transition:
Click Edit for the workflow that has the transition you wish to configure the validator on.
In the Workflow Designer, select the transition.
Click on Conditions in the properties panel.
Click on
Add condition
.Select
User Condition
from the list of validators.Click on
Add
to add the condition.Configure the user(s) to check and the criteria (see below).
Click on
Add
to add the condition to the transition.
When you add this condition to a transition, the transition will be available only if the configured user(s) satisfy the configured criteria.
User(s) to check
You must first configure which user(s) need to be checked. You can check either the current user, or user(s) in an issue field such as Assignee, Reporter, or any user picker custom field.
Current user: the current user will be checked
User(s) in field: the user in the specified field, such as Assignee, Reporter, or any User Picker custom field, will be check. If the selected field is a multi-valued field, such as Voters, Watchers, or a Multi-user Picker custom field, all users in that field will be checked, and they all need to satisfy the criteria.
Mode
You need to specify whether the user(s) to be checked must satisfy all the configured criteria or at least one.
all the criteria configured below: each user will need to satisfy every criterion
at least one of the criteria configured below: each user will need to satisfy at least one of the criteria
or the field can be empty: if you select the “at least one of the criteria configured below” option and the “User(s) to check” is “User(s) in field”, you can also decide whether an empty field satisfies the condition. For example, if you are checking the Assignee field and you select the “or the field can be empty” option, the condition will succeed and the transition will be available even if the issue is unassigned.
Criteria
You need to specify at least one criterion that the user(s) must satisfy for the condition to succeed. You can check whether each user:
is the Reporter
is the Assignee
is a Watcher
is a Voter
belongs to one of the specified Project Roles in the issue’s project
belongs to one of the specified groups
belongs to a list of specific users
belongs to a field, such as a user picker custom field
satisfies a Groovy condition (script). For each user to check, the Groovy script will be evaluated and must return
true
or a truthy value for the transition to be available. Note that the user being checked is available through theuser
global variable.
