JQL without nested groups

[Dmitry]

We need to search for issues of users who are direct members of groups without nested groups.

---

Example:

There is a Group 1 consisting of

• Group 2
• User 1
• User 2

Now JQL is like this:

• assignee in membersOf(Group 1) AND assignee not in membersOf(Group 2)

---

Is there a construction of JQL that does not require to know about the presence of a subgroup of Group 2 in Group 1?

Hi

I do not think you can due to how the nested groups are managed into JIRA.

You can't view or edit the nested groups themselves, or see that one group is a member of another group.

Thank you.

I assumed this, but needed confirmation.
