JIRA OnDemand, "project already exists"

Question

Hi, i tried to create a project called "QA Team", with key QAT, it said "error, please check with JIRA admin" I am the jira administrator.

when  i tried to create the project again, it said "project name already exists", but i don't see it in the list of projects.

Is it possible to reset the name and key so that i may be able to use it?

Thank you

-Philip

Yup, sounds like you don't have access to the projects.

Remember Admin rights give you access to admin functions, not everything automatically (because that's a terrible access model), so if you want to see a project as a user, you need to make sure you give yourself permissions
