How do I add a status to a column?

Question

Hi, I'm jira admin and project owner but I am unable to add a status to columns on the kanban board?

The Add status button just stayed greyed out?

Hi @Justin

Only users who have Administer Project permission on your project can add statuses to its board.

You need to go to project settings -> people and add yourself as an Administrator.
