Add Role Option to Project

Question

I am only given the option of Administrator on a Business Managed Project.  I click the dropdown box and only Administrator is available to select.  On other projects there are usually Read Only and "Member Access" which allows create, edit rights but not delete. Please advise what configuration I am missing to make sure I get to select from multiple role options.

Company managed projects (look to the bottom left of the project view, it should tell you at the bottom of the column of options) have variable "project roles"

These roles are defined globally, by your administrators.  If you need a new one, you'll need to talk to your Jira admins to get one added, and also to amend schemes and settings in order to make it useful to you.  This role will appear in all company projects!

If you're in a team managed project, the roles are local to the project, and you can add them and define their permissions if you are a project admin - go to access and click the "manage roles" towards the top right.

Hello @Brad Doyle

Can you confirm that your Business Managed project is a Company Managed project or a Team Managed project? It will say at the bottom of the navigation pane on the left.

And the "other" projects, are those Company Managed or Team Managed?

Can you show us a screen image of what you are seeing in the Business Managed project?
