How would I get a list of assignable users of a Jira Software project using the REST API

[Christian Nielsen]

I need to verify that users listed in a field are 'assignable users' in specific projects. This verification needs to be done routinely and continuously, hence the need to do this via REST API from a script.

I am able to get all the userIDs listed in said field, I now need to check that they pass the assignable user permission test.

I know how to get a project's permission scheme using the REST API and thus I can get the permissions and 'holders', which gives me the projectRole values. But for the world of me, I don't seem to be able to get the 'actors' (I guess that is the term) for a specific project - I only get default actors, if they have been set.

Hello, Good day. I would like to know if you have already explore the following option with REST API. https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-user-search/

Thank you for that - I was approaching the problem from the project/issue side and was reading different API documentation.
