Permission to create projects without having other admin rights

[Bonnie_Cresswell]

From what I can find in documentation, in the config settings, and on community I don't think it is possible to give someone the ability to create a project in Jira Software without also giving them administration rights in other areas of Jira Software (i.e. a person that can create a project can also create/edit statuses, create/edit workflows, etc) - I'm asking here because I can't believe that these things can't be separated...?? - any advice appreciated!!

You are reading documentation for Server versions of JIRA, but you have tagged the question as Cloud.  You'll need to check what you're using, but what you describe does sound like it is Cloud, which is documented at https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/manage-users-and-groups-744721623.html

Also, in Atlassian Cloud, you need to be a Site Administrator in order to perform user management operations. This is because performing user management operations may affect how much you pay per month for your Atlassian Cloud instance. Only Site Administrators should be able to perform operations that can affect your bill.

Thanks Guys, Now that you point out the licensing it makes sense. Frustrating, but makes sense.
