Hi! I really need help with permissions. I feel like I've added all possible access to all users now and nothing makes me able to add a new column to our board because I can not create a status. 

I'm an org admin and have now added myself to all projects and given myself all accesses.

I just don't get why it's not working. And mostly I really don't get why I don't already have all permissions since I'm an org admin. I've read through a bunch of threads but can't find any concrete changes I need to do. Please help.

Hello @Pernilla Öjergren 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Can you provide a more complete view of the Columns and Status page? Specifically I'm interested in the areas highlighted by red arrows in the image below. Do you see the plus-sign button to the right of the last column? What does it say for Workflow type?

Hi @Trudy P Claspill ! 

It doesn't look quite like in your screenshot for me. If I'm not looking in the wrong place. 

Here's what I see:

If I press the plus sign and add a new column for Blocked:

Really appreciate your help!

Thank you for that additional information.

Based on the screen images you are working with a Team Managed project.

To add a Status you need to modify the Workflow(s) for the issues. Refer to this documentation for information on managing workflows in Team Managed projects:
