Hi @Kiza Mahajan

There's a few different layers of administration you could have.

These include...

* Organization Admin
* Site Admin
* User Access Admin - this is quite new
* Product Admin

Check this help page for more information on the differences, and what each can access

---

The page above has a table which details what each Admin can do - which is a good way to test if you have admin, and to which level.

But a few simple checks you can do...

* Organization Admin* Can you access https://admin.atlassian.com/ ?
* If yes, Org Admins will see multiple tabs on the main navigation bar
* If you see Security, you're likely an Org Admin

* Site Admin* You can access https://admin.atlassian.com/
* Can you track storage, and manage products and apps for your specific Jira instance?
* If yes, you could have Site Admin

* Product Admin* In Jira, if you select Settings (cog icon in top-right), can you see Issues and System?
* But, you cannot see Billing or User Management
* If yes, you're more likely a Product Admin

If you can access https://admin.atlassian.com/, and access user management or the directory, you could also check what level of admin you have there :)

Hi @Kiza Mahajan welcome to Atlassian community.

For Jira Cloud:

* User Interface Check:
* Log in to your Jira Cloud instance.
* Click on the settings cog icon in the top right corner.
* If you see options like "User management" or "System," you likely have Jira administrator permissions.
