Summary

Unable to search for global permissions using /rest/api/2/user/permission/search.

As has been said in JRA-43075 , this endpoint is important to Atlassian Connect vendors who want to do things like check the permissions of a given user

The documentation for the rest/api/2/user/permission/search endpoint links to this list of all possible permissions, which includes global permissions like ADMINISTER.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run the REST calls against /rest/api/2/user/permission/search

   1. http://localhost:7021/jira702/rest/api/2/user/permission/search?permissions=SYSTEM_ADMIN

   2. http://localhost:7021/jira702/rest/api/2/user/permission/search?permissions=SYSTEM_ADMIN&projectKey=<validPkey>

Expected Results

Returns users who have this global permission

Actual Results

1. First call returns the following

   {"errorMessages":["No project or issue key was provided"],"errors":{}}

   • A project or issue key is required to be provided which doesn't make sense in a global permission context
2. Second call returns the following

   {"errorMessages":["Internal server error"],"errors":{}}

Notes

Other known results of the second command

Workaround

No known workaround
