Project administrator cannot create projects

[Thomas Capacci]

Hi all,

We have different departments that will use Jira and we want project administrators and users to have access to only the projects they are admin/users of.

Seems the only way is to use project roles, but as a Jira admin myself I have to create the projects and then I can add project admin. I havent found a way yet to allow users to create projects without being Jira adminstrators.

So for now I create new projects In Jira but it then shows my name as the project lead, how can I designate another project lead after I created a new project (I tried to add another user as admin and remove my account as project admin, but I am still project leader)

Hi @Thomas Capacci ,

You can change the project leader through Project settings after the project is created.

Hi @Ollie Guan 

I don't have the same options, if I click Details it is missing the project lead option:

Next-gen projects do not (yet) support project leads.

That was it. Created a classic one and now I can change the Lead.

Thank you
