How to Get User Role Information Using Application ID (No Project Key)

Bittu Kumar

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a way to retrieve user role information using the application ID in Jira. In my case, I do not have the project key, and I only have the application ID and administrator access token.

Could anyone guide me on how I can fetch the user role details with just the application ID and access token? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Bittu Kumar 

Without projects, this cannot be accomplished. You would need to get the list of all projects first - you may not see all projects because you are not the Jira admin.

GET /rest/api/3/project/search

With this, you will get the project key, and then you would need to use the endpoint:

GET /rest/api/3/project/{projectKey}/role

Hi Bittu,

If you are just needing to check a couple of users and not get a list of them, you can go to the Settings > User Management > Users and search for the person and click on them. 

Then click on the 3 dots to the far right of the product - for example Jira - and then select View Jira project roles.
