Suppress email notifications WITHOUT admin privileges

[Andrew L]

When i try to update an issue of a particular project and pass in "notifyUsers=false" to the "curl" cmd, i get:

To discard the user notification either admin or project admin permissions are required.

 I could not figure out how to turn off this restriction of that project so that i can update the issue without having Jira send out email notifications.

I tried going to https://mycompany.com/secure/admin/EditPermissions!default.jspa but didn't see anything obvious that i can toggle.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

The parameter is only valid if the account you are using to make the call has admin privileges.  There's nothing to toggle or change, you just have to use an admin account if you want to not send email.

I know this is NOT true.

There's another Jira project where i am able to suppress emails successfully via REST calls using the same userid without admin privileges.

I just don't know what config changes i need to make.

Thanks

I expect you will find your other project is being updated with a user that has admin rights (project, Jira or system)

Can you please let me know how i can check the configuration?

I looked at the "History" tab of the issue (of the project that did not require admin privileges) and do not see any other userid making changes.  The only userid in the "History" tab is the userid that i passed to the "curl" command line.

 Thanks

The history has given you the user, so that was the right first step.

Next, you want to look at "people" and "permissions" in the project's admin sections.
