Hello @RJ ! Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

According to this page, the original board administrator or a Jira administrator can make you the board administrator. https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver/configuring-a-board-938845252.html

Hi @RJ 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!!!

Changing a board's administrators

A board's administrator is the only person who can change the configuration of a board along with Jira administrator users. By default, the administrator of a board includes the person who created it. If you are a board administrator or a Jira administrator, you can change the administrators of a board. See Permissions overview for more information.

Go to the desired board, then click Board > Configure.

On the Board Configuration screen, click any of the name(s) in the Administrators field (a 'pencil' icon will appear when you hover over them).

Enter the names of the desired users or groups. If you start typing the name, a list of users and groups will be suggested. Press the Enter key when finished.

Note, the suggested user list will not display if you don't have the 'Browse Users' global permission. However, you can still enter the user names and group names manually. See Permissions overview for more information.

You may also want to give the new administrators rights to manage the JIRA filter on which the board is based – see the Jira Admin documentation on Managing filters.

Cheers,

Mayur

Since you're on Cloud, I presume this is for a company-managed board.

To manage an existing company-managed board, you need project or board admin permissions. Have neither? Find a Jira admin - a higher-level admin than project or board - and ask them add you to the board as an admin.

p.s. If you're on a team-managed board, the above shouldn't apply.

This page states that the current board administrator or a Jira administrator can promote you to the role of board administrator.
