This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Working with workflows
I am a project admin of a specific JIRA Project. However, I can't Edit the screen, workflow, fields, transition in JIRA for this project
What access rights that I need to get for editing this specific project?

Hi Darren,
you need to be System Administrator, not Project Administrator.

Well, JIRA admin, or System admin.
You can edit the workflow in two cases as a project admin though:
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.

Hi Darren,
did you read the Administrator's Guide, especially https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/working-with-workflows-776636540.html ?
Do you get any error message?

Hi Thomas,
I got the system admin right today. However, when I change a status name(from "To Do" to "Problem description" in CAPA project workflow, all other projects are affected. I suppose this change is only applied to the CAPA project, since I did this change under the CAPA workflow setting. pls clarify..

We need to avoid this issue happen again(i.e. change applied to specific project). Thanks.

Status is a list of shared objects - if you change a status, you affect all the workflows that are referring to it. Create a new status and use that in the workflow you are editing.

Yes, a lot of changes will be global, or at least apply to shared settings. Have a look at two things:

Hi Nic,
My Administrator don't know on why one new status - "problem description" appear in the workflow for all the projects. Do you have any idea on this? Not sure which setting can cause this failure.

Are you sure that's a status? Adding a new status to the list of available status has no effect on existing workflows, it won't add anything to them. To add a new status to a workflow, an admin has to edit the workflow (possibly a project or board admin as mentioned above, but someone has to do it)
My best guess is that you are sharing this workflow across many projects and and admin has edited it, adding the new status to it. So it appears in all the projects because, like everything else, it's a shared workflow.
