How can I enable "Only Owner Can Change Workitem"?
Accepted answer
This is not available out of the box. Permissions are controlled by role (and owner is no role).
However you can create a custom advisor and enforce this. As an example see: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2014/05/26/only-owner-can-close-workitem-advisor/

Hi Ralph,
I was thinking creating a custom operation advisor.
That can be a good enhancement as far as I see because the reason behind this functionality has some valid point as one can close someone else's workitem by mistake or whatever..
Would it make sense to create such an enhancement on jazz.net
Hi Canberk,
I do see the benefit of having e.g. a pseudo role "Owner" to be able to tie permissions to.
I think it always makes sense to express your needs as enhancement requests. 8-)
One other answer
This functionality (providing a "pseudo-role" that matches the owner) is requested in work item Add special "owner" and "creator" roles, that specifies what the "owner" and "creator" respectively of an object can do to the object (88779) .
