I'm unable to add an external email to Jira JSM, even though I have full Admin privileges, including Jira Admin and Project Admin rights. When I try to continue with Microsoft (which is my organizational account), it still shows an error

Hi @Zubair Ahmad 

Welcome to the community.

This error message means that you are a project administrator, but not a Jira administrator. You must be a Jira admin to connect a custom mailbox on a service project.

Hi @Zubair Ahmad 

No Jira administrator.

I don't mean product or user administrator.

You will need to be in the group jira-administrators

Welcome @Zubair Ahmad 

Do you have the Administrators role in your JSM project?
