GET /rest/api/2/user/assignable/search

Returns a list of users that can be assigned to an issue. Use this operation to find the list of users who can be assigned to:

In all these cases, you can pass an account ID to determine if a user can be assigned to an issue. The user is returned in the response if they can be assigned to the issue or issue transition.

This operation takes the users in the range defined by startAt and maxResults, up to the thousandth user, and then returns only the users from that range that can be assigned the issue. This means the operation usually returns fewer users than specified in maxResults. To get all the users who can be assigned the issue, use Get all users and filter the records in your code.

Privacy controls are applied to the response based on the users' preferences. This could mean, for example, that the user's email address is hidden. See the Profile visibility overview for more details.

Permissions required: Browse users and groups global permission or Assign issues project permission
