Can I Get the Group of the assignee of a specific Issue?

Question

Hello, I'm hitting this api to get all issues for those 3 groups: HR, DEV and Engineering. https://test.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/search "jql":"(assignee in membersOf('HR') OR assignee in membersOf('DEV') OR assignee in membersOf('Engineering')) AND created >= 2020-11-26 AND created < 2020-11-27 OR updated >= 2020-11-26 AND updated < 2020-11-27 ORDER BY created DESC". But in the responce i can't get the Group of witch the assignee is in. for example I want to know that the assigned member of this issue is in DEV for example. But this field does not seem to be present. should i add something to the expand field "expand":["changelog"] ? Thank you.

Group memberships of a user are not issue data.

You'll need to read the user and use another call to question the groups they belong to.

Hi @Jawad Zakhour

As @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- mentioned above you need to make another call to get that information in your code.

Try this end point.

/rest/api/3/user?accountId=ACCOUNTID&expand=groups

Here is the curl command to test it quickly.

curl -i -X GET \
-H "Authorization:Basic ACCESSTOKEN" \
'https://JIRAURL/rest/api/3/user?accountId=ACCOUNTID&expand=groups'

Just replace the ACCESSTOKEN, JIRAURL and the ACCOUNTID.

I hope it helps.
