@Mention Individual Users and Groups of Users
All users can use @mentions in comments unless their access role restricts leaving comments.
Note
When you @mention a user you choose them via the assignee picker. The assignee picker works by by taking user relationships, work history and the context of the work item into consideration, if you don't immediately see the relevant assignee you can still search for them.

Click the comments section and type the @ symbol followed by the name of the user whom you'd like to mention. 2
