I want to create a new Project through the REST API and assign the Project Lead. This means I need to use the /user/picker or /user/search endpoints so the user can select any active user in JIRA.
Both endpoints have a mandatory username/query parameter with an implicit leading wildcard. This means I can't construct a list of users programatically by sending off a query for each letter in the alphabet as /user/search?username=a returns Adam and Edward.
This is a pretty basic thing to do so I'm sure others have come across the same problem.
Thanks.
Hi Karen,
This issue has been reported in the following case:
Please note, from the request, it does mention the following:
In various environments, it has been observed that setting username to one of the following characters will do the trick:
- /rest/api/latest/user/search?username="" (double quotes)
- /rest/api/latest/user/search?username='' (single quotes)
- /rest/api/latest/user/search?username=. (dot)
- /rest/api/latest/user/search?username=% (percent)
- /rest/api/latest/user/search?username=_ (underscore)
Also, maxResults and startAt seem to be functioning.
You can give this a try in your environment and see if you're able to get any further, but do note that it doesn't seem to work for all Jira setups.
Kind Regards,
Shannon
Hi Karen,
I am now sure whether you are using Cloud or not, however you should be able to get the list of all the assignable users for a project by using:
../rest/api/2/user/assignable/search?project=PROJECT_KEY
For details please see:
- https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/cloud/#api/2/user-findAssignableUsers
I hope this helps.
Best Regards,

Actually the same endpoint exists for JIRA Server too:
