NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.
In JIRA version 4.2.4 there is an "Assign To Me" button in the issue details screen which allows the user to change the issue's assignee value without going through one of the user defined workflow steps. This defeats the purpose of having configurable workflows steps since the user is able to change the state of the issue outside of the workflow. There should be a way to configure JIRA so that this button can be hidden or disabled. It should also be configurable for specific projects rather than a global change.
An admin should also have the ability to hide the Assign menu button on the top of a ticket for the same purposes as listed above. If a user wants to only have the assignee determined by a workflow, this hinders that ability.
Workaround:
For JIRA Server: Go to Admin, Plugins, System Plugins, Issue Operations Plugin, Manage plugin modules. Find the module named "View Issue Ops Bar Assign To Me Link (assign-to-me)" and click on the Disable button. The "Assign To Me" button will now not be displayed when viewing any issue.
This is not available on JIRA Cloud because System Plugins are restricted.

[JRASERVER-24687] Provide ability to hide or disable Assign To Me button
Kirill Tomarov
added a comment - The suggested workaround doesn't do it for me on JIRA Server.
I have disabled webfragments.view.issue.opsbar.operations.top.assign.tome module and rebooted the system, but "Assign to me button" appears nonetheless.
@ramachvi Do you managed to turn it off?

@ramachvi Do you managed to turn it off? Module is disabled, still the option comes up. But doing this will be applicable for the instance. Could this be done for project specific?

To do this for just some projects you would have to edit system-issueoperations-plugin.xml, find the web-item with the key assign-to-me. It has various condition elements. You would have to add a new condition, probably a custom one using the HasProjectPermissionCondition as a starting point.

added a comment - Same problem here as reported by 'Anh Dao', Our workflow has it's own 'Assign' step and we want to remove the default 'Assign' button. Many of our project members are using this default Assign button and it is causing a lot of confusion.

added a comment - I would like to request for an ability to hide/disable the "Assign" and "Assign To Me"(as requested from this JRA-24687) buttons. We create our customization workflow which has its own assign step, status and link status. The "Assign" that comes from jira default workflow becomes the duplicate button.

We create our customization workflow which has its own assign step, status and link status. The "Assign" that comes from jira default workflow becomes the duplicate button.
I would like this option to be per project.
Generally, we want any Jira user to be assignable to an issue and edit/transition issues. However we have a few projects (out of hundreds) where we want to restrict setting the Assignee field itself for some issues types but not other issue types.
We don't want to disable the option globally. And for the affected projects the permissions scheme functionality doesn't support setting permissions per issue type.
The compromise is to restrict Edit actions by using a faux-workflow-transition and custom screens. But the Assign To Me and Assign options remain prevent us from fully locking down who can change the Assignee in the few projects where it matters.
