Unable to get account Id from Jira Rest API

[Sunil Thakur]

Hi,

I have been trying to add users to a group using Rest API v2 and in order to do so, I need to have the account Id of the User. But my user API is not returning the account Id of the users.

Please help.

Thanks

Any idea anyone? I see many people having this issue:

• The route and param “/user/search?query=xxx” are not working with the error message “The username query parameter was not provided”.
• In the opposite way of this “/groupuserpicker?query=xxx” who works but doesn’t provide ‘AccountId’ (?).
• The route and param “/user/search?username=xxx” are working well also but still no ‘AccountId’ in the result (?).
• /user/migration/bulk is not there anymore apparently

Hi @Sunil Thakur 

Have you tried to first perform a call to get a list of the users, and find the account ID you need for the user in the JSON? Then you could use that to add them to the group with another call.

The call to get the users list is: /rest/api/3/users/search?maxResults=1000

Note that unlike other REST API calls for JIRA, this one can return up to 1000 records.  You need to add paging with startAt if you have more than 1000 records.

Best regards,
