how do I find out if I have admin rights

Barbara Campbell

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Create, edit, or remove a user

How do I confirm that I have admin rights.

I need to add new users to our project.

Do you have a cog icon on the menu bar towards the top right of the main menu? No cog = no admin

If you do have the cog, then it'll either be project admin, or JIRA admin, but you'll be able to tell from the options.

There are 2 notions of adding a new user to JIRA.

Adding a new JIRA account - This can be done if you have at least the "JIRA Administrator" global permissions

Adding an account to a JIRA Project - this basically means giving access to an existing account which is controlled by the "Administer Project" permission found on your project's Permission Scheme

Can you add a picture of this?

I am a new user on the cloud-based platform and am definitely an admin. This was resolved in another chain and it was a known issue.

I don't think it is inappropriate to ask for a screen shot...

I would love a screenshot too!

Hey Gemma,

The Cloud UI has changed since this question/answer were originally written. This isn't always the case - we're talking about maybe trying to identify some of these posts on Community so it's easier for people reading answers to know if it applies to them.

You're definitely on Cloud, which is a bit different than Server now. To see if you have admin in Jira Cloud, you're going to look for the Jira Settings option after clicking on the Jira icon:

If there's no Jira settings option, there's no Jira Administrator permission.

Cheers,
Daniel
