Thanks for reporting this.

Is it a cloud server or on-premise?

[Dreamer1cc]

It is on-premise server

[lipkau]

Can you check the results of this REST API in your browser (you have to have logged on before opening the URL): https://jira.some-address/rest/api/latest/group/member?maxResults=25&groupname=WB_CBMT_Group

I have only a cloud server to test with - and there it works perfectly

in on-side i can get users by this link: https://jira.some-address/rest/api/2/group?groupname=WB_CBMT_Group&expand=users

And what result is: https://pastebin.com/DnCEye9s

In case it helps, the query @lipkau provided https://jira.some-address/rest/api/latest/group/member?maxResults=25&groupname=WB_CBMT_Group worked correctly on our on-premise server (I had to change the group name and server address). Tested against Jira 7.5.0

[Dreamer1cc]

So, maybe cause of it is my Jira Server version. It's too old?

[lipkau]

yes. Your jira version (6.4.7) provides this information in a completely different way. v6.4.7: https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/6.4.7/#d2e5667 v7.12.0: https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.12.0/#api/2/group-getUsersFromGroup

I had several conversations regarding API changes from version to version. It's a very difficult topic - especially because Atlassian is so bad at writing APIs. In order to be 100% backward compatible, we would need to maintain a DB with the REST API and it's changes from version to version. For which we obviously (and unfortunately) do not have the manpower to do.

So, I am sorry to say, this action is not supported on your version of Jira with the latest version of JiraPS. I believe older versions of the module will work. Maybe a future version will be backward compatible - you can write a feature request for this function to be "smarter" - but at least for now, you have 3 options:

1. Update Jira (easier said then done, I know - but... there is a reason why Atlassian released updates ;-) )
2. Use an old version of JiraPS (easiest way would be to try Install-Module PSJira, which is on version 1.2.5.251)
3. Change the code yourself, so that it supports both APIs (you need the current code for cloud servers) - and submit a PR with the changes 4. Wait for someone else to do 3.

Ok, thank you, i think - it is not a bug. It is a feature, what this module "sometimes" working with my version
