When creating a project "Create Project" there is not option to select "JIRA Classic" as per the documentation. What did I do wrong?.

Question

I am trying to following instructions below:

The instruction on this link:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/Cloud/Get+a+feel+for+JIRA

Get a feel for JIRA

Now that we have your site looking pretty and have some users set up, let's work through some of the basics of JIRA.

Wait! I don't know what JIRA is...Create a project

A JIRA project is a collection of issues. Your team could use a JIRA project to coordinate the development of a product, track a project, manage a help desk, and more, depending on your requirements.

In this step, you will be creating a project for your team to use. You should still be logged in to JIRA as an administrator, from the previous stage. If not, log in under that administrator account.

* Choose Projects > Create Project and choose JIRA Classic.
* Enter JIRA Junior as the project name. Leave the project key set to its default value of JJ.
* Choose Submit to create your new project.

The project for "JIRA Junior" will be created and you will be shown the project summary page.

Hi,

I am trying to find  Create Project and choose JIRA Classic option but it's not there under Project Tab. How do we come to know that we have admin rights for creating a project on Jira?
