Query all issues another user can view

[SneakyFx]

I am trying to query all issues another user can view. This would be executed from an admin account with all permissions. I know an empty JQL query would return all issues *they* have access to. However, I am trying to find what issues user XYZ has access to, without obtaining a personal access key or account credentials of user XYZ.

Creating a search application that will integrate jira issues in the search. I am able to find relevant issues relating to the search but now I need to filter them by only issues that the user actually has permission for. I only have the username/accountId for the searching user.

I am fine with a JQL solution or a different API endpoint. I have tried to use permissions/check but it's not available to the data center version I believe.

Hello @SneakyFx 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

There is no native JQL methods available that will give you what you want.

What is the problem that you are trying to solve by getting this information?

Are you going to have to do this repeatedly for multiple users, or is this a one time need?

The permissions/check endpoint seems to accomplish what I need, but it isn't available for data center version I don't think. I may be mistaken.
