Assign issue to a user created through REST api

[Priya Gopinath]

Hi,

I am trying to do the following.

1. Create a user using REST api version 2

2. Assign the user created to the right project under the right role in Jira using rest api version 2

After completing step 2, I see the user under the project , under the right role. But Iam not able to assign any issues of this project to this user.

Does anyone have any idea what could go wrong here. 

I tried doing step 2 manually instead of using Jira rest api. It works fine and i am able to see the assign issues to the user. Why is adding user to project under the the right role through rest api cause any issues?

thanks

Hi Priya,

one question that comes to my mind is about 'Application Access' (https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/manage-group-access-to-applications-938847042.html) for the user created via API.

After creation - does the user belong to a group equipped with 'Application Access'?

For a first diagnosis I'd compare both users (manually created/API created) if they are really in identical groups.

Cheers,
Daniel
