      Issue Summary

      The Global permission "Browse Users and Groups" has been granted to a non-admin user, still they are not able to see the groups that a specific user belongs to within their profile page, which can be accessed via http://<base url>/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=<username>.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Grant "Browse Users and Groups" global permission to a non-admin user
      2. Authenticated as the non-admin, open the user profile page of any other user
      3. Check if you see the complete list of groups this user belongs under "Groups"

      Expected Results

      The complete group membership of this user should be displayed

      Actual Results

      The "Groups" section is not displayed at all, or partially displayed, since Jira will display the groups that both users have in common.

      Workaround

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