Users with "Assign Issues" permission do not see a User dropdown unless they also have "Browse Users" permission

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

      In JIRA 5.0, a user who has "Assign User" for a permission scheme but no "Browse Users" global permission will not see a user picker on the Assign User dialog.

      This is a change in behaviour from JIRA 4.4.

      Workaround

      Disable the new assignee picker and revert to the old dropdown. To do this, restart with -Datlassian.darkfeature.frother.assignee.field=false. See Setting Properties and Options on Startup.
      Disabling frother.assignee.field option at Large instance with a lot of users will lead to extremely slow rendering Assignee drop-down list.

      A full guide on how to do this has been written here: How to fully render assignee drop down list.

      This has also been fixed in the next JIRA 5.0 bugfix release 5.0.1 so an upgrade will also resolve the issue.
