Management of status-specific restrictions is available since Smart Attachments for Jira 2.10.0.

Status-specific restrictions allow you to define the read and read-write restrictions to categories when the issue is in a specific status. This way, you can regulate access to categories and lock files from editing for specific users, user groups, and project roles.

Status-specific restrictions are merged with the access restrictions configured in the category scheme. You need to consider this while configuring them.

Setting up status-specific restrictions

Before you proceed to configure the status-specific restrictions, you need to perform one of the actions below in advance:

  • create a category scheme from scratch
  • assign the existing category scheme to the project.

After doing this, you can proceed to set up status-specific restrictions.

  1. Open the project in which you want to set up status-specific restrictions.
  2. On the sidebar, select Project settings. 
  3. Locate the Smart Attachments and click Status-specific restrictions.
  4. Click Actions, then select Edit configuration.
  5. Configure the status-specific restrictions as follows:
    1. Attachments category - select one or multiple categories to which status-specific restrictions are applied.
    2. Issue types - select issue types which status-specific restrictions will be activated for.
    3. Statuses - select statuses in which restrictions are applied.
    4. Access restrictions - select users, user groups, and project roles for read and read & write restrictions.
  6. When completed, click Add.
  7. Click Update.
