How to give somebody access to jira project with admin out

[Alison Vermoortel]

Hallo,

Our jira admin is out.

We now need to grant somebody access to a project.

This user is already created within our jira but does not have access to that specific project.

Is there anyway to grant that specific user access?

Kr,

Alison

Hi @Alison Vermoortel If you are the Project Administrator, Go to the Project Settings -> People section and 'Add People' to the required role. 

If you are using Jira DC, then go to Project Settings -> Users and Roles and add the user to the required role.

Hope this answers your question.

The problem is that I am not the project admin and the admin is out for 3 weeks.

Unfortunately, you should either be the Jira Administrator or atleast the Project Administrator (or may be the Project Lead, if they have right permissions) to be able to provide user access. Otherwise, please get in touch with the Project Lead. I understand that the Jira admin is out. But please see if you can contact the Project's Lead.

The lead is also out

Do you know if there are any other users who act as the Project level administrators? (not the Jira admin, but project admin). Usually there are more than one users as admins of a project.

If there is no one else, then the only way forward is to wait for either the Project Lead or the Jira Admin to come in.
