What level of access does a person need, within Aristotle, to allow them to close an issue?

Hi @Adrian, thanks for the question. There are a few different user roles in the registry that can close issues.

Who can close an issue in the registry:

- The user that opened the issue
- System Administrators
- Stewardship Organisation Administrators
- Members of the Workgroup the issue was opened in

I hope this helps.

Lauren
