Is it possible to filter by Assignee is NOT User?

I created a JIRA user to assign things to that are not to be "done" such as tickets to log time for meetings, etc.

I want to filter these out of a board view. Is it possible to filter by issues to Assignee is NOT a certain user? Or, do I have to filter to Assignee = all other users except this one?

Accepted answers

option 1. assignee in membersOf(<your_group>)AND assignee not in ("username1")

option 2.
assignee not in ("username1")

or just use - assignee != "<user name>"

Yes, and you've almost answered your own question - NOT is a valid operator in JQL.

Most of us would use the ! shorthand though.

Assignee is not currentUser()

Assignee != currentUser()

Both do the same job.

Thank you, that worked!

This seems to work half for me on the backlog.

assignee != "<username>"

also filters out all of the tickets which are not assigned. How do filter out only that username?

Luke Vandervort

Me too! How do you fix that. Unassigned tickets disappear!

Like this

(assignee != currentUser() OR assignee is empty)

@Luke VandervortYou can try: YOUR QUERY AND assignee is EMPTY OR YOUR QUERY and assignee != "username"
