No place to change Project Lead

[Andrew Tjang]

I've searched the community posts and found several answers that don't seem to be relevant. I cannot find a way to change the project lead on JIRA.

Using: JIRA Cloud: 

Jira 2806cf06

The Project Details page doesn't have a field for project lead.

In fact, project lead shows up nowhere except the project summary page, and is unchangeable.

Am I missing something obvious? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I can see it in the Details tab:

[Andrew Tjang]

This is not the interface i see. I've posted my screenshot above.

That is because you created an Agility project. You can do much about it.

[Andrew Tjang]

 I did not realize that agility boards somehow had fewer permissions! Thank you. This was so frustrating to see solutions that didn't match my view. Here is the open ticket https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-68674 now that I know what the problem is. Thanks!

You are welcome!

those confounded Agility projects. ;-)

This is frustrating.

Ah, you're not a Jira administrator, so you only get limited access to change the configuration (including project lead).

I am an administrator. (I'm the account owner)

Andrew.

Please follow the following path.

1. Log in to your jira account.

2. In the projects drop down select the project you want to change the lead for.

3. In the upper right corner of the screen, right below issue search there is "Administer project" button.

4. You will see an administration summary page for that project. In the line that says JIRA Project:

click configure link.5. Under people you will see the default assingee, name of the current project lead, and roles. Click more link.6. On that page that comes up, click little pencil icon next to project lead, and choose a new user to be the project lead.

Hi Victor, 

I have been trying to change the Project lead for a few hours now and really not winning. I dont seem to have that " Administer project' Under my issue search ? 

Is there another way to change this ?

Are you on Server or Cloud?

Took another look. You must be on cloud. Follow Alexey Matveev [cPrime] image instructions.

It should be under Project Details page under Users and Roles section of project to change Project Lead Andrew

[Andrew Tjang]

Thanks for the response. There is no USers and Roles section in Project details. I am attaching a screen shot.
