Restrict Status based on permissions

George

I would like the ability to limit certain permission levels to a few task statuses.

Limit Task Status Changes by User or Role

Riley Dickerson

Currently, any user with edit access to a task can change its status to any available option. For better workflow control and accountability, it would be extremely helpful to restrict which users or roles can move tasks to specific statuses.
For example, I want my team to be able to move tickets from “To Do” to “In Progress,” but only managers or leads should be able to move tickets to “Closed” or “Done.” This would prevent tasks from being closed prematurely and ensure proper review and approval before completion.
This would allow admins to set permissions for which users or roles can move tasks to specific statuses. For even more granularity, it would be great if we could allow status change restrictions to be set at the Space, Folder, or List level, and Ideally provide an override option for workspace owners/admins.
This feature would improve quality control, accountability, and process compliance for teams that require strict review or approval steps before closing tasks. This would complement the Approvals custom field and advanced permissions, but provide more granular control over workflow transitions.

yes this is must have

In ideal world it could be an Advanced section in Statuses Modal to set all legal transition bi-directional graph (to excluse illegal arrows from all-to-all connection/direction) and required permission to do legal transition between statuses (who can change status for every arrow).

In this case you can block transition from "DEVELOPMENT" to "PRODUCTION" status skipping "TESTING" one.

I also need this

Need this.

Beth Tidwell

Agreed! Would be very useful.

Avrumi Eisner

This would be very helpfull. Including guests users.

Johan Dahlqvist

Longing for this..!

I'm surprised that 5 years since requested, and this is still not done. All the major ClickUp competitors are offering this now so this should be prioritized.

This is a must-have, to have any real control over workflows. We have a use case, for purchasing, where there's a need for approval before purchase. If we can restrict the "Approved" status to a specific user or group, that will enable us to "control" who can approve or move something.
