(is this the right place to ask? Should I go to the regular public gemini issues instead?)

I wonder if it is possible to allow only certain status changes for a special group of users.

Preciselsy: I want to allow external users to change their issues's status from "open" to "closed", but they are not allowed to set the status to any other value. (Alas, there ARE other status values, i.e. "assigned", "in progress", "ready (for qa)" but they may only be set by the internal staff.)

tnx Heiko

Yes, this is the right place. Who can move from which status applies to all destination statuses. So in your example, you will have to do it in 2 steps. From Open to closed and that is allowed by all groups that are allowed to do so + the "special" group. From closed only the internal groups can move to any other status. This is the only way to do this at the moment.

Okay. Not perfect, but works for me.

Unless I decide to do it completely different, like using a resolution "revoked" and using a trigger in the database to automatically set the status, too.
