How do I assign an issue to another user?
Use Assign Issue operation. Make sure you have the 'Assign Issue' project permission!

Could you check if it is the same thing as here?
https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/47244/why-can-t-i-assign-an-issue-to-a-user-who-should-have-permission?page=1#47308
Just to verify, if you start typing the user name it shows the user you want to assign?
I have the permissions set correctly. However the drop down list of users is not displayed when I attempt to assign to another user. This sounds like a bug for 5.0. Is there a work around or a way to configure to enable the system to make all assignable users visible in the drop down?
There is no bug here, it's your config somewhere. Three basic things:
1. The field will only appear for a user who has "can assign issue" permission in that project
2. If a user matches the "can be assigned issue" permission, then they are displayed on that list.
3. Is the "assignee" field on the screen?
Simple test - when you look at the issue, do you have the "assign to" link? If you do not, then it's case 1 above. If you do, then click it and report back what happens.
In all cases, I can't find any reports of any bugs that would stop this working. There would be a LOT of screaming if it was broken. So it's your config.
It looks like you're new here. Sign in or register to get started.
