Issue Summary

Permissions are set to allow a user that is not signed in to create a ticket and assign the report through the user picker. Recent releases of Jira prevent this action unless the user signs in.

Environment

Jira 7.13.3+

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set up a new install of Jira 7.12.x
2. Set the global permission "browse users" to anyone and the project permissions "create issues," "modify reporter," "browse projects," & "assign issues"
3. Log out
4. Attempt to create an issue and assign it to a user in the instance
5. Complete issue creation
6. Set up a new install of Jira 7.13.5
7. Grant the same permissions
8. Log out
9. Attempt to create an issue and assign it to a user

Expected Results

Same results as 7.12.x

Actual Results

An error prompting for sign in (401 error)

Notes

An unintended symptom of https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-69242

Workaround

Currently, there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
