Sorry for the delay, 

If you "get" an issue with https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/1000.824.0/#api/2/issue-getIssue  you'll see it feeds you all the fields back, and when the fields are user fields, it gives you "name" and "displayName".

Given the name, you can look up the email address and other stuff with https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/1000.824.0/#api/2/user-getUser

Hi @geethanjali sj welcome on the community. Can you share more? What user do you need? Assigne, reported or some custom field's value?
