Error
While attempting to invite users or groups to sign the search list is empty even after entering the name of a Jira user.
Cause
The user and group invite search uses a Jira API to find existing users and groups. Access to this data is controlled by Jira security.
For a User to see other users they require the “Browse users and groups” Global permission . This is typically granted to the Jira users group.
Things to Check
To add the security privilege so a user can invite other users:
-
Go to https://<customersitename>.atlassian.net/secure/admin/GlobalPermissions!default.jspa as an admin
-
Under Grant Permission select "Browse users and groups"
-
Under Group select the group that has the users you want to give permission to list other users.
-
