      Issue Summary

      Not able to add myself as a watcher when going directly at the ticket URL. (e.g xxxxxx.atlassian.net/browse/XXX-1234), but able to watch if trying from the board.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a ticket
      2. Copy the ticket URL and paste in a tab.
      3. Try to watch the ticket

      Expected Results

      Expecting to be a watcher form that ticket.

      Actual Results

      Receiving the bellow error.

      Also, if we check the network tab from the browser, we'll notice the following error:

      message: "{\"errorMessages\":[\"User 'xxxxx' is not allowed to add watchers to issue 'xxx-1234'\"],\"errors\":{}}" 

      Workaround

      As workaround we can give the user the "Manage Watchers" permission, which is strange since this permission is for adding other users and not yourself.
