How do I become the org admin?

Zak Rush
December 19, 2025

Our org has Confluence and a number of Confluence spaces.

Our org has had some staff turnover which has left myself and a colleague running the business.

We, however, are not org admins.

We have been setup as space admins, which is helpful to a degree, but it seems we cannot add new staff that we have hired to Confluence spaces, or just manage the users we have already (such as suspending/deactivating old users no longer working for us).

In an attempt to gain org admin, I tried searching for who our current org admin was, and was pointed to admin.atlassian.com. When I logged in, it seemed to have created my own admin space (with a user of 1 (me), not 10 as I was expecting).

I can't find who my org admin is, I can't raise a simple ticket to get this fixed.

Can someone help please?

Hi,

i'll see if we can raise this question to Atlassian directly on this post and see if they can raise a support  call for this in your name.

If you do know who your admin used to be, you can alwasy recreate their email account and try accessing/granting yourself access that way.

However, if you are not yet aware who the admin might be we can see if Atlassian can help you out!

This can take a few business days (especially with the holidays coming up) so give it a little time :)

We've tried from various avenues - current and old/deactivated accounts.

We simply cannot identify the current org admin.

So whatever you can do to raise this as a ticket would be great!

Thanks
