Call to /api/2/group?groupname=<name>&expand=users no longer returns email address

Hi All,

We use api/2/group to validate certain information about members of a group, including the domain of their email address.

The cron has worked happily until two days ago when it no longer returns "emailAddress" in the JSON.

I searched around for inspiration (I assume it's a security change) but can't find details of the change, or whether it's still possible to get the email addresses of users in a group.

Any inspiration you can provide would be much appreciated!

Hi Matthew,

Here is what I've figured out:

New profile visibility control settings are launched which allow users to hide or unhide parts of their Atlassian Account profile (https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/profile-and-visibility). The default value for email address visibility is "Only you and admins". So emails are not visible for users who have not changed default visibility settings.

Hi Matthew,

According to Jira cloud REST API documentation (https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/#api-group-Groups) GET /rest/api/2/group is deprecated. Could you try group/member?

Many thanks Aleksandr!

That's very useful to know, I should have checked. I've amended the job to use group/member and I'm still getting the same fields back:

{
"self": "",
"name": "",
"key": "",
"accountId": "",
"avatarUrls": {},
"displayName": "",
"active": ,
"timeZone": "",
"accountType": ""
}

The documentation suggests this should bring the emailAddress back so this must be a setting somewhere else. I assumed this must be a security setting but the only one I can find is 'User email visibility' which has no effect.

I'll keep digging.

Yea, I've tried even the old deprecated endpoint and got emails in the result at my cloud instance...

Thanks again Aleksandr for your efforts. Much appreciated.

That's brilliant, thanks for digging this out Aleksandr. That's enabled me to get to a point where I can retrieve the information for people within my own organization, I just now need to figure it out for users who we invite in from customer organizations.

Thanks again for your help!
