How to write a JIRA Query URL for getting Group Names and Group Members

[Ravi Chand]

I would like to get group Names and group members through API.

Like below

https://www.example.com/rest/api/2/search?jql= project in(ABCD) AND issuetype in(XYZ) &fields=issue,summary,worklog&startAt=00000&maxResults=1000

Thanks

Chandra.

Hi Ravi,

To get group names you can use the example below:

https://yourinstance.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/groups/picker

And to get group members, this example:

https://yourinstance.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/group/member?groupname=group-name

You can find more information on the link below:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/#api-api-2-group-get

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Angélica

Hi Angelica,

Many Thanks for your reply.

Please help me on below things.

1. The below picker service is giving only 20 result actually the total is 172.

https://yourinstance.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/groups/picker

2. When i'm trying to access below url i'm getting unauthorised.

https://yourinstance.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/group/member?groupname=group-name

is there any other way to get group memebers.

Thank You

Hi Ravi,

You can add the parameter maxResults and add how many results you want to see:

https://yourinstance.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/groups/picker?maxResults=172

I tested the second URL and it's working, at the end of the URL you must add the name of the group, for example, site-admins, administrators, jira-servicedesk-users:

https://yourinstance.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/group/member?groupname=site-admins

Hi @Angélica Luz ,

I have a group with name group & asd. When I invoke the below endpoint:

rest/api/3/group/bulk?maxResults=100&groupName=confluence-guests-tanriverdi&groupName=group%20%26%20asd&groupName=confluence-admins-tanriverdi&groupName=administrators

I get an unauthorized error. I encode the URI before sending it. How can I get that group by name?
