What's the best way to change my Jira/Confluence email?

[barbarat]

I am currently an admin to Jira/Confluence at username@contractor.com.

I would like to change my email address (and not lose any of my existing tickets). When I try to do so, I get the warning that you cannot change your own name.

How do I change my email without losing any data?

Hi there, 

Yes, you can. If there is other person as admin, please ask him to change that to you. If not just raise a ticket on Atlassian Support (support.atlassian.com) that we will make that change for you. 

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
