I am the owner and administrator of our JIRA Space. I attempted to change a team member’s role from Member to Administrator, but I receive the alert:
“Error : Something went wrong. Please try again.”
and the change does not go through.

I also asked other administrators in this Space to try, but they all reported the same issue. We have an urgent task that requires this role change, so I would greatly appreciate your prompt guidance on how to resolve this.

Hello,

Welcome to the community :) 

Could you please try once the below workaround? 

The same is described here  ; https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CLOUD-12745

  • Add the Project permission through admin.atlassian.com in "Jira product > three-dot menu > View Jira Project Roles“ from the User Page in Directory, instead of going directly to the Jira Project’s settings. If you don't have access, an Org-Admin might be able to help with this one.

Please also raise a ticket here : https://support.atlassian.cim/contact/# so that support team can login to your site and check what the issue is 

Thank You,

Prachi

Hello @김수지 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

We are a community of users of our own Jira instances. We do not have access to your Jira instance.

We may be able to make suggestions to help you debug the situation.

But if this is truly an urgent matter you need to contact the owner/administrators of the Jira instance for assistance. If they are unable to resolve the issue then they can escalate to Atlassian Technical Support by opening a support case at
