Go to your board, then select more "..."

Hi @Thomas Grossi and welcome to the community,

If you are on a CMP you should be able to find swimlanes from the board settings:

Hi Thomas - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Can you share a screenshot or what you see?

My apologizes, I thought I'd attached a screenshot to the last reply...

This looks like you are not a project/board administrator, or you are not in a Jira Software project.

You say "created the board, and I am the only user, so far... I must be the admin, correct?", and no, that's not correct, other (system/jira) admins could remove you. But you are absolutely right that if you created it and are the only user, you probably are the admin (Jira won't let you remove the last admin from anything)

My instinct is that this is not a Jira Software project, especially given the options Summary/board/list/etc most of which only appear in Jira Work Management projects (where you can't do a lot of config on the boards, including swimlanes)

@Thomas Grossi based on the screenshot you shared, you are not on Jira Software, but you are working on Jira Work Management, which currently doesn't support swimlanes.

I am having the exact same issue. I created a new account on a free plan, am using Jira Software and created a company managed project, but the "...More" doesn't have a Board Setting. I have no other users and am the Org Admin (under Jira Administration)

Hi George - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

It's not a Jira Software project if there is a More button on the board and it looks like the image above. That's a Jira Work Management project.
