    Description

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

      Summary

      User mentions don't send notification if performed by a user without Browse Users permission

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Login to JIRA with an account without 'Browse User ' permissions
      2. Mention another users using the wiki markup [~user]

      Expected Results

      The mentioned user is linked if the username matches a JIRA username, and notifications are sent out of JIRA

      Actual Results

      The mentioned user is linked if the username matches a JIRA username, but no notifications are sent out of JIRA

      Notes

      In a few other contexts in JIRA it doesn't appear that the browse users permission is related to being able to trigger notifications. For instance if a user without browse users permissions updates reporter by specifying the username exactly, notifications will be sent.

      Workaround

      No known workaround
