 I’m experiencing an issue with mentions in Jira. When I try to mention a team member in this project, their name shows up as gray instead of blue. The member is active and part of the project. Could you please advise why this is happening and how to fix it?

Welcome @안예빈 

Have you verified that this user is part of the group that is tied to a global permission which is Browse users and groups?

@Nikola Perisic  When a mention shows up as gray, will the mentioned user receive any notification?

@안예빈 Could you share a screenshot? Blur the users names, so you keep the data secure.
