Is it possible to limit work item types a user can create?

I'd like to limit the types of Work Items a user can create. For exemple, on the same project, TEAM A can create Epics, Features, Pbis and TEAM B can only create BUG.

How ca I do that?

I came up with a workaround for this.

  1. Create a group for the people whom you do not want to be able to create a work item type.

  2. On the work item rules, create a rule that makes the title read-only for members of that group. When users are a member of that group, they will not be able to save that work item without a title.

You can do that through the process customization. You can add a new group (like DenyCreateSomeWIs) and add users to it. Then update needed work item types with rules "Restrict the transition to state":

As a result:

Check the documentation: Apply rules to workflow states (Inheritance process)

You cannot. It is not possible to restrict access to work items on a type-by-type basis; if a user can create a work item, they can create all types.
