DevOps Boards - Controlling card state changes

[Scott_Agnew]

In DevOps Boards, is there a way to restrict who can change a state on a user story? For example, is there a way that only a Product Owner has the ability to physically change a user story state from New to Approved or from Active to Closed?

what is the dev ops board?

Hi,
Try using the Time in State for Azure DevOps extension to get reports on how long each Work Item is in a certain state https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SaaSJet.tis-azure .
I hope you find the extension useful.
