Question

Our previous admin leave the organization , now we need admin access for new person

Our previous admin has left the organization, and we now need to provide admin access to a new person. Can you guide us through the process to grant the necessary administrative privileges to the new user? Additionally, if there are any specific security measures or steps we should take to ensure a smooth transition and maintain system integrity, please let us know.

In case there is no other user who is the org admin then you can do the following

- Check with your IT team if they can retrieve and make the email of the org admin that left the org active so that they can recover the account and password for one of your teammates to log in with the account and then you can follow the above steps

If that is not possible, please reach out to support: https://support.atlassian.com/contact/

so that they further help you with this

Thank You,

Hi @Muhammad Affan Sarwar welcome to the community!

Only existing site admin or org admin can grant the admin access to a new user. If non of existing admins available then you need to reach out atlassian vendor by submitting a ticket. https://support.atlassian.com/
