Problem

Running an api against the JIRA server like this is not working :

<BASE URL>/rest/usermanagement/1/user/group/nested?username=<USERNAME>

Following error message is displayed :

Cause

Crowd User Directory in JIRA is not enabled.

Resolution

Make sure the Crowd User directory in JIRA is configured correctly. The Crowd REST api requires Crowd to be configured correctly and enabled on the JIRA server.
