@Vishal Singh Were you able to use the account id? If that worked, please do accept the answer so that we can confirm it.

Looks like you need to send the user's account id in the payload for this to work. Check out the Find users endpoint to get the account id and then use the account id in this payload instead of the username.

I am now stuck in a different issue...i.e, i need to give edit permission to a user and when i call the https://XXXX/jira/rest/api/2/filter/30656/permission

above API gives me error saying user does not exist...but i use the same username to login to jira

REquest:

{
"type": "user",
"userKey": "bbadrin",
"view": "true",
"edit": "true"
}

REsponse:

{
"errorMessages": [
"User: 'bbadrin' does not exist."
],
"errors": {}
}

Could you provide any assistance here
