Adding issue types in Jira for developers

Is it possible to create a new issue type in JIRA (as a project administrator) such that only admin/developers can create an issue of that type?

We want our admin/developers to be able to create these new issues, but not our users. (The users should be able to see issues of this new type, though).

Any information would be appreciated.

Creating the issue type in JIRA can be done by navigating to Settings > Issues > Add Issue Type

Add issue JIRA

From there you can edit the Issue type and name.

Add JIRA issue

For more information, have a look at the following link. If you need to configure issue level security, take a look at the following document on the Atlassian documentation.

You could do this easily with the permission scheme. Create a new scheme or copy an existing one, give the "Create Issues" permissions to the user groups you like, and apply the scheme onto the desired projects.

I think that what you are looking for is "issue type scheme"

Taking from the docs

What is an 'issue type scheme'? An 'issue type scheme' defines a subset of issue types, which:

restricts the set of available issue types for a project, and controls the order of available issue types and the default issue type shown to your users for a project. The 'default issue type' is the issue type displayed in the selection-box when a user creates an issue. A single issue type scheme can be 're-used' across multiple projects, so that a group of similar projects (i.e. projects which might be used for similar purposes) can share the same issue type settings.

More info can be found here

Update: to set permissions and what an user can or can't see I am pretty sure you have to set "Issue security levels" I am not sure on how much you can change here but, according the docs you could

"allow you to control who can see individual issues within a project (subject to the project's permissions)."

You could see this.

But I don't know if you have to be a Jira System Admin to set that, I really don't think so.
