How to change the owner of the filter automatically in jira REST

[Sri Sandhya]

As I said the filter owner is someone else but need to change the ownership via JIRA REST API.

Hi @Sri Sandhya ,

Take a look at the documentation here: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-filters/#api-rest-api-3-filter-id-owner-put
That should do what you need. Keep in mind that you either need to be the owner of the filter or have Jira admin rights for you to be able to change the filter's owner.

Cheers,
Peter

Hi @Peter Van de Voorde 

That method is in experimental mode right. Is that will work?

[Peter Van de Voorde]

There is only one way to know and that is to try.

I haven't done this myself, but I would recommend you just try it out and see if it works.

Cheers,
Peter

Hello @Peter Van de Voorde

I tried but got 404 error.

[Peter Van de Voorde]

How did you try to call the endpoint? Keep in mind that you need to do a PUT not a GET.

And also make sure to remove the /jira/ part of the url, so make sure you use the following url endpoint, for example the below url returns all your filters:

https://<yourinstance>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/filter/my

Hello @Peter Van de Voorde 

url=domain + f"filter/{filter_id}/owner"
payload=json.dumps({
    "name": "name of the user"
})
response=requests.request(
        "PUT",
        url,
        headers=headers,
        data=payload
)

like this I tried because I dont have account id So I used name and key as well.

But still facing 404 error.

404 b'{"message":"null for uri:..., "status-code":404}

@Sri Sandhya without the account id it will always return a 404 (This is explained in the documentation).

You'll need to find the account id of the user first, you can use this endpoint to get an accountId for a certain username: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-users/#api-rest-api-3-user-bulk-migration-get
