Search if CREATOR is in GROUP

Question

I'd like to use JQL to check, if the creator of an issue is in a certain group.

Something like

creator in "Group ABC"

However "in" is the wrong operator here, as "in" expects a list.

So, is there some command I can use to list all members of the group ABC?

Or is there a different operator than "in"?

Hi Niels - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Try using:

creator in membersOf("Group ABC")

Brilliant - works like a charm, thank you so much for the super-fast answer. I couldn't find it in the quick guide and never thought to dive into the depths of the documentation. My bad.

Hi @Niels Christian Goerz

You can use membersOf. That will query based on a group.

creator IN membersOf("jira-admins-xxxxx)

This will query the jira-admin group.
