How do I archive projects ?

[swati]

I did follow the guidelines given by Atlassian but I am not able to see the archive option.

Hello @swati 

Have you read this, possible workaround

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/archiving-a-project-in-jira-server-950287459.html

So basically you hide the project by editing the permissions,  you will be able to access it through the administration menu, but it will not appear in browse or anywhere else.

You will have to edit the permissions to view the issues.

From the documentation

'Hiding' a project

A 'hidden' project will still be visible via the 'Administration' menu, but it will no longer appear in the 'Browse Projects' list, and no-one will be able to search, view or modify any of the project's issues.

1. Create a new permission scheme. Leave all of the permissions empty.
2. Associate the new permission scheme with the project that you wish to hide

It is on JIRA Data Center Version . Are you on JIRA datacenter version ?

[swati]

I don't think so. I am not really familiar JIRA yet. If you can let me know where can I check if I am on JIRA datacenter version or not?

Frankly, if you are the JIRA Administrator yet if you don't see the Archive Project option , I'm sure you must be running on Standalone Server Version.

You can log into the admin console and check System Info - you will have a good load of information out there.

You should see an option like this one.
