how do i turn over all admin rights to another engineer in my department?  i've always been a placeholder admin as i know little of Atlassian/Jira.  i'm turning it over to an engineer who's recently been added and knows much more than do i.

Hey @Kenneth Stephen Belluch and welcome to Atlassian Community.

You can do this via admin.atlassian.com, go to Organization Settings > Administrators and add your colleague there as an admin.

If required you can also make project owner settings at the project level to give your new admin rights there. 

Hope that helps

Mike.
