Jira rest api not listing email address of the user

Question

Is there a way I can get assignee email address from the issue details or user details?

rest/api/2/issue/issue-6659

rest/api/2/user/search?username=user1

I have been reading about the public visibility of the contact email address.

* Does everyone should set their email visibility to Anyone to get mail address from issue/user details?.
* If yes, is there a way where admin can update all the users mail visibility to Anyone by api or some other way?

Thanks for replying. Actually this is not working for me, the user mail id is not listing for any user. Looks like something to do with the privacy visibility

Hi @Thyagaraj Gopalakrishna ,
I think with the query

rest/api/latest/search?jql=key%3DXXX-12345

you can expend the assignee field and get the info like :

You can find the display name and the mail address.

I don't know about the privacy visibility and I don't know the primeter of this privacy and it is a good question...

Hope it helps !
