Create a new project

[Paddy Galligan]

Hi,

I am currently trying to create  new project however the create option isnt available on the drop down.  The only option is 'view all projects' - does anyone know how I should create a new project?

Thanks

Hey Paddy,

Do you have the product admin role on your site? Only the admins can create new projects.

If you have the user role only (or Basic User from the old user management UI), you won't be able to create new projects.

You can verify this by going to the Settings option on the top right. Non-admins users can only see the "Personal Settings" section there.

Thanks,

Karan

Hi @Paddy Galligan and welcome to the Community!

That probably means that you are not a Jira Administrator (that is a required permission to create company managed projects) and that your company's admins have disabled the option to create team managed projects as well for regular users.

You'll have to reach out to your company's Jira administrator(s) to have a project created for you.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Paddy Galligan 

Welcome to community!

If you do not have the "create project" option as below, you are not the admin of the site.

You will have to connect with your jira site's admins to create the project

Hi @Paddy Galligan , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your question.

If you cannot create a project, this is because you are not enabled as a Jira product admin. Please contact an administrator in your organisation and ask them to elevate your permissions if you believe you should be able to do this.

Cheers
