Kanban Board - Status Button

[Jignesh Shah]

I am trying to create a Kanban Board for my team in a specific project.

When I try to configure the board, I see this view in the Columns tab for my board:

But, I am not able to see the Add Status button like I see in one of the training video. (It seems Status can help to map appropriate columns.)

Here is the reference link:

I am not sure how to enable it. Can anyone guide me?

Hi Jignesh,

It depends on the type of project you are using. 

What type of project are you using? Team-managed? Company-managed? Jira Work Management? 

[Jignesh Shah]

To be honest, I don't know but I guess it is company-managed.

[John Funk]

It will say at the bottom left of the screen. 

[Jignesh Shah]

Oh Yes. Thanks John.

I can confirm now that it is company-managed.

[John Funk]

Very good - Adding a status is limited to Jira Administrators

[Jignesh Shah]

That's bad.

So, without JIRA Administrators, it might not be possible to configure Kanban board. Right?

[John Funk]

Well, yes and no. You can configure most things about the board, but not adding statuses, which is actually a change to the underlying workflow.

That particular option will be visible only to Jira admins not Project admins

I thought so. I reached out to my DevOps team. Let's see. I will update here if I get an answer.
