Not allowing me to edit sprints

When I try to move a sprint up or down on my board after creating it, I get an error message that states I must have either Manage Sprints or the Edit Sprints permission for specific projects. I have Administrator role in my project. I don't understand what is holding me back.

Hello @Lansdon_ Rick ,

Good day! Welcome to Atlassian Community :)

We completely understand that you are the Project admin, however your user account would need Manage sprint permissions explicity on the projects/space where the sprint is present.

Also, make sure to double check the filter query of the board where the sprint is present, as inorder to manage sprint, you need to make sure your account has manage sprint permissions on all projects mentioned in the Board URL.

Thank you
