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

      When you use the Permission Helper to check a user's ability to Manage Watchers, it should alert the user to whether or not they have the "Browse Users" permission. If the user does not have the Browse Users permission, they cannot use the Manage Watchers feature fully - per this documentation.

      When adding watchers to an issue, to access:

      An autocompleted list of users in the Add Watchers popup, or

      The User Picker popup on the Watchers page,

      your JIRA administrator must have granted you the Browse Users Global Permission.
