How to get the username by the user ID?

[Jason Huang]

Hi,

I want to know the username from a user ID, e.g. JIRAUSER12515.

Is there any way to get the username by a user ID with REST API?

Regards,

Jason

In addtion, I think that you need Browse Users global permission to use API suggested by @Mohamed Adel
