How do I set up a project in JIRA ?

As an admin, click "create project", follow the template you choose and then add your users into it when it has finished.

Admin permissions was the issue. Thanks for your help guys!

Hi, you need Admin permissions to create a project. If you're and Admin, follow the steps below.

1. Select Projects > Create Project and choose Project Management.
2. Enter the project name. Note that JIRA Core creates a Project key for you, but you can overwrite this if you want to. By default, you should already be listed as the Project Lead. 
3. If prompted to create a link to another application, such as a Confluence space, leave that option unchecked for now. 
4. Select Submit to create your new project.
