Is there a way to see transition security on the work item workflow diagram?

Question

Is there a way when going through the process editor --> work item types --> open WIT from Server --> workflow tab, to see the transition security that has been created?

I set up transition security for the transition from="" to="Active" for a only one particular group in my organization and was wondering if there was a way to display that information on the workflow diagram.  It is much easier to show everyone the workflow diagram than to have to explain in words what the transitions are and the security for the transitions.

Thanks,

Hi ,

Do you mean For and Not rule of a Transition?  Just Double click the header or Open Detail will see them.

This is the code I have Ruiz in my xml, I would like to know if the read only section can be highlighted in the workflow diagram.

<TRANSITION from="" to="Active">
          <REASONS>
            <DEFAULTREASON value="New" />
     </REASONS>
          <FIELDS>
            <FIELD refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ActivatedBy">
              <COPY from="currentuser" />
              <VALIDUSER />
              <REQUIRED />
            </FIELD>
            <FIELD refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ActivatedDate">
              <SERVERDEFAULT from="clock" />
            </FIELD>
            <FIELD refname="System.AssignedTo">
              <DEFAULT from="currentuser" />

Thanks.

I figured it might not support it just from all the digging I've been doing, but I thought it was probably safest to ask in case it was possible.
