Unable to release board

[Leon Siggelkow]

I am working on a Kanban board but am unable to use the release button. A pop up box tell me that "You must be a project administrator or Jira administrator to release versions". I am a board administrator ( I think that should allow me to reales the board). 
What mistake could I be making?

Hi @Leon Siggelkow and welcome to the community,

As a board administrator you have certain privileges concerning the board and not the project. Versions are part of the project so you have to be at least a project administrator.

Once you have created a version and being the project admin (or jira admin) then you would be eligible to release it.

Best,

Alex

HI @Leon Siggelkow ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

Release button allows you to manage Versions within the project. It is not related to board itself.

Keep in mind that just a project admin or a jira admin can manage versions within a project.

Hope this clarifies your doubt.
