Jira admin has left the organisation

Dave Gibbs January 23, 2025

I have taken over management of a team using free Jira. The previous manager set only themself as a site admin, and has now left; now when I go to https://admin.atlassian.com/ I am invited to create a new organisation. 

All the guidance I have found, relating to changing roles, depends on there being other admins already. We do not have that, just users. 

I have tried to change my own access through my account settings (which, predictably, didn't work). 

I am reluctant to create a new organisation if there is any other way to transfer admin rights. Any help gratefully received!

Hi @Dave Gibbs I created a support case on your behalf over in https://getsupport.atlassian.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/23/JST-1093095

 

Someone from our support team should be able to reply to you there with some more information.

How do I open up a support ticket? I don't see anyway to do so. We have the same super admin issues where we need to designate a new one as our previous super admin has left the co

Hi @Gene Korinzer 

I can't see which product or site you might be referencing.  If you could provide some more information in regards to which site URL in question, perhaps I can raise a support request on your behalf.

Alternatively, you could raise an issue in https://www.atlassian.com/company/contact/purchasing-licensing?redirectSource=sac-wac-redirect#/?inquiry_category=your_account&topic=update_account

This link creates a support case with our Customer Advocate team that can update billing/accounting information for our products.
