Not allowing me to edit sprints

Lansdon_ Rick

When I try to move a sprint up or down on my board after creating it, I get an error message that states I must have either Manage Sprints or the Edit Sprints permission for specific projects. I have Administrator role in my project. I don't understand what is holding me back.

Hello @Lansdon_ Rick ,

Good day! Welcome to Atlassian Community

We completely understand that you are the Project admin, however your user account would need Manage sprint permissions explicity on the projects/space where the sprint is present.

Also, make sure to double check the filter query of the board where the sprint is present, as inorder to manage sprint, you need to make sure your account has manage sprint permissions on all projects mentioned in the Board URL.

Thank you

Hello @Lansdon_ Rick

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Your post tags indicate you are on the Free subscription. Is that accurate?

Have you ever been on a paid subscription or a trial of the Standard or Premium subscriptions?

Has there been any modification to the access/permissions for the project/space?

In a Free subscription all users should have all necessary permissions in all project, but if you were on a paid/trial of the Standard or Premium plans then more restrictive permissions may have been set up that are still in effect.

What type of Space does this concern? Click the ... button next to the Space name in the navigation panel on the left. What do the last two lines in the pop-up say? It will say something like:

Software space
Company-managed

Reviewing the permissions you have will depend on the information in the second line, as permission management differs between Company-managed and Team-managed projects.

Additionally, if the second line is "Company-managed" then you may be operating in a board that uses a filter that references multiple projects. In that case you would need the Manage Sprints permission in all referenced projects. If this might be the case we can dig into that more.
