Hi @Aditya Srivastava 

Here are the instructions for how to add and remove org admin roles:

https://support.atlassian.com/user-management/docs/give-users-admin-permissions/

You’ll need to grant the org admin role to a new user, then have that new user login and remove you as an org admin. From memory you can’t alter your own org admin role.

 Good luck!

I also have the same problem 

But if I change the ORG admin access to someone else, what will happen to my account, and which features will I have access to?

It really depends on how your product access and user is setup, I can only guess really.

If all your Jira and confluence access is granted via the org-admin group, then you’ll lose access to jira and confluence when your org admin role is removed.

Your new org admin can easily grant Jira and confluence access back to your user if you do lose it. 👍
