The rest documentation around certain user resources is incorrect with respect to anonymous access and the "Browser User" permission

XMLWordPrintable

    • Severity 3 - Minor

      NOTE: This bug report is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding bug report.

      The JIRA cloud and server rest documentation both state in certain rest resources that they cannot be accessed anonymously. However, when "Anyone" is granted the "Browser User" permission anonymous users can use some rest resources for which the documentation states that they are not permitted access.

      The following rest resources have this documentation issue:
