Why can't I access many team-managed projects as an Org Admin?

Question

I am my organization's Org Admin (and a site-admin and jira-admin), yet there is a slew of team-managed projects that I cannot access... What's the deal? Everywhere I read suggests that even "private" team-managed projects can be accessed by Jira Admins.

I do not use TMP much and every one that has been created was by me which restricts my ability to test. I will see if I can get someone to create a private TMP and see if I, as the org admin, can access or not.

Even this message in one of the private projects (to which I did not have access until the Project Creator added me) asserts that "admins... can search for, view, create, or edit its issues". I really have no clue what I'm missing...

Right, so is that line simply false?
