Unable to Delete Issue in Company-Managed Business Space on Jira Cloud Free Plan

Unable to Delete Issue in Company-Managed Business Space on Jira Cloud Free Plan

I think I did everything to enable me to delete issues.

I verified my domain via Google Workspace. My account is a managed acoount.

I confirmed I have permission to delete an issue.

Here is other settings screenshots:

Hi @selcuk alimdar,

From the screenshot you shared, it seems you migrated your data from another Jira instance.

As @Victor Law - Ricksoft rightly points out, the administrator role in your space does not automatically grant you delete issues permission. This is a separate permission in the permission scheme that needs to be granted explicitly.

Since you indicate being on a free plan, you won't be able to do that (as a free plan does not allow editing permissions).

As others have mentioned, first of all verify if you really have the explicit delete issues (work items) permission. That is currently not clear from the screenshots you shared.
If you are on a paid subscription, update that permission, or - if you are on a free plan - start a trial of a paid plan first and then update the permission. Revert to the free plan after you did that.

Hope this helps!

thanks @Walter Buggenhout your suggestion worked out: if you are on a free plan - start a trial of a paid plan first and then update the permission. Revert to the free plan after you did that.
