Summary

When agents are trying to raise a request on behalf of a customer, no accounts are listed on the field.

Behavior when the "Browse Users" permission is missing

If the Agent does not have the Browser User Global Permission as it is needed to search users, the following will happen:

  1. Typing on the Field does not search any available Users/Customers.
  2. The Field is rendered as a "Text Field".
  3. It is not rendered as shown in the documentation Raising requests on behalf of customers.

Change the global permission

  1. Navigate to Jira Administration > System > Global Permissions.
  2. Add the Browse User permission to the Agent group.

  3. Check if the feature is able to search users based on the Customer List.
