Please login to perform this query

Error message

Please login to perform this query

What it means

IgnoredByMeCriteria builds a query predicate (or in-memory match) for issues ignored by the current user. It resolves the user from the request context via User.get(); when no user is bound to the thread (anonymous access, or execution outside an authenticated request), it refuses and throws NotAcceptableException with 'Please login to perform this query'. The 'IgnoredByMe' concept is inherently user-relative, so anonymous evaluation is impossible.

Solutions

  1. Log in (or authenticate the API request) so User.get() returns a real user before running the query
  2. Remove 'IgnoredByMe' from queries that anonymous users can execute, or use an explicit user criteria like 'IgnoredBy "name"' via IgnoredByUserCriteria
  3. For server-side code, run the query within an authenticated user context instead of a bare thread

Example fix

// before (anonymous)
IssueQuery.parse(project, "IgnoredByMe").find(...);
// after: ensure authenticated or use explicit user criteria
new IgnoredByUserCriteria(currentUser).getPredicate(scope, query, from, builder);
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

if (User.get() == null) {
    // block user-relative criteria before running the query
    throw new NotAcceptableException("Login required for this query");
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Calling IssueQuery.find/optimize or getPredicate on a query containing 'IgnoredByMe' while the current session is anonymous (no login), or invoking the criteria from background/system code where no User is set on the thread.

Common situations: Anonymous users hitting a saved query or dashboard containing 'IgnoredByMe'; REST API calls without authentication; scheduled jobs or webhooks evaluating issue queries server-side with no user context.
