Hi @ALLA ATCHYUT KARTHIK

* Jira Admin Access:

* Manage projects, issue types, workflows, and permissions within specific projects.
* Configure project settings and create custom fields.
* Manage users and groups for the projects you administer.

* Organization Admin Access:

* Manage all Jira projects across the organization.
* Control billing and subscription settings.
* Access to global settings, such as user management for the entire organization, security settings, and site-wide configurations.

Hello @ALLA ATCHYUT KARTHIK

As a Jira admin, you have access to most of the settings related to managing projects, users, workflows, permissions, and schemes within Jira Cloud. However, some settings—such as user management across all Atlassian products, billing, and security features (SSO, password policies)—require Org Admin access.

For a detailed overview of what each role can do, I recommend reviewing the following official Atlassian documentation:

* Jira Admin Documentation
* Org Admin Documentation

These resources should give you a clear understanding of the differences between Jira Admin and Org Admin access.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
