How do I filter by users' role?

Question

I find it absurd that I couldn't create a filter using user's role. Any ways we can do this via native JQL or a free plugin?

Hi @Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_

Minor typo as I believe it is membersOf()

Hi @Jeff Boon ,

you can use memberof("group_name_here"). For example :

assignee in memberOf("jira-administrators")

If that's the case, may I know is there any other way for me to filter issues created by a "group" of users?
