      Problem Definition

      Currently JIRA allows all users to clone issues. As a JIRA Administrator, I'd like to restrict the ability to Clone issues to certain groups only.

      Suggested Solution

      Add a Clone Issues permission to Permission Schemes.

      Original Description

      The "Clone this issue" link doesn't mean anything to most of our users, so it would be nice to be able to remove this link. It should be another permission in the Permission Schemes screen (like the "Link Issues" permission)

      Workaround

      Use the property jira.permission.createclone.denied in each status of the workflow and set the value to true, it should work.

      This process disables Clone as well as Split operation.

      Note

      The above-mentioned workaround of using the property "jira.permission.createclone.denied" is invalid since the property does not exist in Jira. What actually happens is that Jira interprets the property as "jira.permission.create.denied". Due to this, the creation of cloned issues is disabled. However, since this disables the entire issue create permission, it also disables the creation of child issues as mentioned in the recently closed bug ticket (JRACLOUD-80788).
