User not appearing in the Assignee field

[ronan.fleetwood]

We have a particular user who I can mention with an "@" in a comment on a Jira but I can't assign an issue to him. He doesn't appear when I begin typing his name.
Any ideas why? Is this some kind of permissions issue?

Hi @ronan.fleetwood,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Make sure that the user in question belongs to the right group/project role. Assignable users are controlled from the permission scheme used by your project.

Hi @ronan.fleetwood 

Just check if the user have 'Assignable User' permission in the project permission scheme. If you don't have the admin rights, please reach out any admins to check it.
