Hi Prem,

To assist we will need to see your call to the endpoint, hard to check it without this.

The exact call to make is published in Atlassian's REST API documents.

To sanity check this login to the system as the user who the call's API token come from and attempt to do the action of assigning the issue manually. If you can't do it through the UI it's a permission issue and you won't be able to through Restful
