Hello Anshu

Welcome to the community!

Your question is interesting, but unfortunately there is no such thing in Jira.

In order to add a user to a group, you have to be an administrator.

It is also possible to add a user to a group via Jira's API; but in this case you will need a POST request and you will need to specify the user in the request payload. This seems quite difficult to combine with the requisites you mentioned.

May be somebody else has a better answer, but I hope my answer helps at least a little bit.

Good luck!
