Unable to edit dashboards or filters as a site admin

Donna Bates

Hello!

I'm a site admin on my company's Jira cloud instance. When the previous site admin left the position a few months ago our IT group deactivated their account across the board. I'm currently trying to edit some dashboards and filters that they are the owner of but I can't. I can copy the dashboards & filters but not edit them, I can't even change the owner over to myself.

This is causing some headaches as you can imagine. Does anyone have any solutions I can try? I've been working on this now for 2 days with no success.

Hi @Donna Bates @can you request the Org admin to make you the owner?

I'm already an org admin. So what now?

Hi Donna - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Are you able to grant yourself Jira Admin permissions? That should allow you to change the owner.

There is a setting that you need to configure to be able to share and edit dashboards but that will require JIRA Admin role in your account. This is different from site admin account.

I'm already an org admin and I can't change any of the former user's dashboards or filters. I can copy them but that's it.

I'm already an org admin and I've already played with the share dashboards permission and that's good to go, but still can't change the owner.

Hi @Donna Bates , can I ask which screen you are going to to edit tge dashboards? Are you here...

https://xxxxxxxx.atlassian.net/secure/admin/dashboards/ViewSharedDashboards.jspa

if so when you click on the ellipses to the right of the dashboard what do you see?

Donna Bates

I go to our main dashboard screen (full listing of all dashboards) at https://xxxxx.atlassian.net/jira/dashboards

On dashboards I DO NOT own I see this:

Being an org admin or site admin does not give you super powers. You still have to go by the permissions granted. Jira admins can update the global permissions to grant users the ability to modify the owner of a filter or a dashboard.

Site Admin is the same as Org Admin which is different from JIRA Admin.
