When I use the JIRA rest could API interface to do add user to group, I can't get the user's accountid. It seems that my JIRA doesn't have the accountid field, and I can't get the accountid when I get the user through other interfaces. Do you know what's going on

Hey @yewujie 

All you need to do is to be able to identify the user and get their accountId, this is done by first searching for the user using the search user API. Then add the user to an existing group name or you can create a new group and add the user there.
