How do I add users in the new format?

Katie_gvw35g

We created a software project in December 2023 and I created a new software project in March of 2024. I want to now add teammates to this but it appears the process has changed and I cannot find out how to add them now. I am able to add teammates, but I can only add them as administrators, which I don't want to do. 

First image is the 2023 add people and the second is the 2024 add people.

Hi @Katie , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your question.

It would appear that the project you created last year was a team-managed project, which allows you to manage it completely independently of the global configuration.

The second project you showed, the one from this year, is a company-managed project, which has a different set of rules for how they are governed. I think you would just need to ask for a team-managed project to be created, if that is how you prefer to work.

^ Here is some more information about the differences between the two types of projects. 

I hope this helps you.
