User picker not working for customers

[Alex Borges da Silva]

We are currently trying to create a maintenance portal and we need to have our customers able to select their manager with a user picker.

The issue we are facing currently is that any user that is not an Admin cannot search our Jira users, we already tried to change the project permissions, and the general permissions and we have tried in this specific project to have some users with the "service desk customer" role and none of these options worked.

I'm a tad late to a response on this issue, we found out the solution in the project configuration under "Customer permissions", play around with the settings in there and one of them allows the users to use the "User Picker"...

I'm not in the center of this project anymore, so I don't remember exactly which option it is

Hi

I had to play around as well and found out it is "Who can customers share requests with?" and it has to be set to "Any customer or organization, by searching in this project"

Hi @Alex Borges da Silva,

Check your Jira settings / global permissions - in order to see users in a user custom field your users must have browse user permission.

Hope this helps!

Not only this permisson is public we have set the same permisson scheme of another project in which it is working fine :(
Also, if that may have any impact, the field is in a form inside the request.

Same issue here!

Got same issue here :)

Tried to add the customers to the global permission browse users without success.

A "Site Administrator" who is not an "Agent" of our Jira Service Management project tried the user picker and she wasn't able to pick users as well. It seems like only the "Agents" of the project have access to the user pickers within the Customer service forms so far.

Ich have the same issue as well - how can we ensure that people accessing the service desk can search and add users? However, I am using Data Center though.

Same issue, using Data Center.

Hello all, I found a solution for this with Adding a SD user group to Application access - since access here is organised by groups.

System - Application - Application access.

I have this issue too recently. Any changes from Jira for customer role?

This setting has to be selected in the "Customer Permissions" section in the Service Desk admin settings.

It not only activates the share requests user select option but also any other user picker fields on the portal
