Can't add user to restricted page

I want to add user Sebas Wijnen to a restricted page. This page may only been seen by him or me. I'm the sys admin. It contains the passwords for our production server.

The users aren't loaded for the selection, but the user is known within Confluence. We also user Jira and BitBucket. Jira manages the user roles.

Why aren't the users displayed? Jira and Confluence use OAuth and are connected.

Hi Chris,

maybe Sebas has no viewing permission on the space itself?

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your quick response.

There are no restrictions on the space itself. This is btw the only page with restrictions.

I doesn't show any other users.

I use Confluence 6.3.3, and Jira 7.4.2. So both the latest versions.

if your space is public, maybe Sebas doesn't have the role "confluence-users" ?

I've tried "swi", same result, no users.

And just double checked, he is in the group "confluence-users"

are you able to load any other user? Do you see an error in the logfiles?

are you able to add him to the permission scheme of your space?

I did manage to load some other users, but not all.

The permission schemes I use is the default one. The default that's shipped with the installer.

No error in the logfiles.

This is the API call:

/rest/prototype/1/search/user-or-group.json?max-results=6&query=swi&_=1503410894710

Response (HTTP 200 response):

{"totalSize":0,"result":[],"group":[]}

Do you have any other idea what is going wrong here?

This is happening to me too - I am unable to add permission to a specific user, I receive an error "There was an error submitting the page restrictions. Please try again later."

Please fix!
