Hi everyone,
Thanks for voting and commenting on this issue. Your input in the comments helps us understand how this affects you and what you're hoping to accomplish with JIRA.
The ability to take action on behalf of another user via the REST API is a priority for the JIRA Ecosystem team. We are currently working with the Atlassian Connect team to identify a strategy for implementing this. I encourage you to follow AC-1080, which is slightly larger in scope and will cover this.
Regards,
Dave Meyer

At the moment, there is no option to log work on an issue for a given user. This would be really helpful if we can have the option to log work for any user using EST api.

[JRASERVER-30197] Log work via REST API for a given user
This can also allow nice integrations like slack commands to allow users to log their own times..
Hi there, is there any update since 2015 on this ticket ? (For Dataserver instances)
A project administrator can already update and delete worklogs of other users. So why can't he create worklogs for them?
This is a must to ease administration and sync with other tools.
Just add the name or key of the user in the RestAPI "Add Worklog" parameters and check that the caller has the permission "Edit All Worklogs" on the project. Set the author to the user passed in parameter, and the updateAuthor to the user calling the API.
Everybody will be pleased...
We are still using sudo for Jira to get this functionality. Thanks David!

Hey, This is from 2012 right? The endpoint for adding work logs offers the possibility to write an author but for me, it doesn't log the work log as the given author. So am I doing something wrong or is this still not implemented?
Hi @LeeCorrell unfortunately it doesn't work for cloud, the API the plugin uses is not exposed in that environment. Sorry!
@DavidErickson, does that plugin now work for Cloud? We'd be interested, too.
We also have a tool which is compliant to labor law in our country and that's why we need to sync the worklogs to Jira. But setting the author of the worklog to something else is not possible. I'm currently completely stuck with that using the REST api. Also the Java API allows that via a custom REST endpoint, but because of security reasons we have to move away from a custom plugin for that.
