I want to add a new colum in workflow. At board settings, I can add new columns pressing "Add column" button. But I can't add "Add status". I'm the admin of this project. Please check my screenshot.
Hello Janath,
by adding a status you change the workflow of a given project, thats why you need the global permission jira-administrator.

Checked global permissions in settings. Seems like administrator has all privileges.
You are only Project-Administrator and not additionally Jira-Admin or Sys-Admin.
Ah got it. Now it's working fine. Thanks a lot.
how to add statuses any body share how in global persmissions
I fixed the problem:
The whole process itself is not easy if you do not know what you have to do exactly. And the idea that jira-administrator group, do not have a Project Administer permissions, to me is ridiculous itself.
I did this on a brand new Jira installation and a final step missing for me was adding myself as an Administrator in the project's settings->People.
Thanks Andriy for helping me resolve my issues in adding a simply column/status to the workflow. I didn't know I was going to have to search forums and jump through hoops just to add a simple "Ready To Review" column.
First of all, you need to go to https://your.atlassian.net/secure/admin/workflows/ListWorkflows.jspa and edit the workflows of all your projects (create an "On Hold" status for all of them). Then, on the board containing the scrum/kanban board, do "board settings" > "columns," add a new column called "On Hold" and drag the "on hold" tiny card from the "unmapped columns" section and drop it on "On Hold.' Voila!
