We have a set of users that dont have the ability to do @username  in the comment field and have the list of users show up.    Same thing in the manage watchers in the JIRA issue... for some users the username typing generates a list of users but for a group of users it doesnt work.

 

Any ideas?

Seems the group of people who are not able to use the @mention don't have "Browse Users" permission under the Global Permissions.

Please check the URL below and grant "Browse Users" permission to the affected users.

Hope it helps!

Cheers
