![JMWE for Jira Cloud user validator configuration with validation criteria](media://e77139db-2e5f-46dc-b3a0-1f0874ed5df0)

When you add this validator to a transition and trigger the transition, the validator checks whether the configured user(s) satisfy the configured criteria, and displays a validation error message if not.
