Prohibit users from editing a work item

Is there any way to prohibit users from editing a work item that its owner is not myself?
By default, you can edit a work item that you don't own.
My customer wants to prohibit users from modifying work items that you don't own.
It's nice if we can set permission to edit a work item that you don't own.

Thank you in advance.

I am not aware of such a functionality. Typically you would restrict changing attributes and saving work item changes by role of the user in the team that own the work item.

The whole concept around RTC and work items is about collaboration so it does not seem to make much sense in general to prohibit saving work items that other users own. There might be special circumstances e.g. for specific types or entities.

You could write a precondition for that. https://jazz.net/library/article/634 talks about Extending in general it is for a postcondition. https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RTCSDK20_ProcessPreConditionExample shows a precondition. I am not sure if this could be scripted.
