How do I give myself full system admin access?

Jason Coan November 9, 2018

I don't have access to some admin options, and neither does the sysadmin account.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/retrieving-the-jira-administrator-192836.html?_ga=2.70763152.1040982753.1541690962-144728392.1523304614

select group_id from globalpermissionentry where PERMISSION='SYSTEM_ADMIN';

returns

jira-system-administrators

so this is my full admin group, correct?

----

select * from cwd_membership where parent_name='jira-system-administrators';

returns

'15006', '10802', '12901', 'GROUP_USER', NULL, 'jira-system-administrators', 'jira-system-administrators', 'jcoan', 'jcoan', '1'

According to the database, I'm in the group, correct?

----

From user management, it doesn't show that I'm a member of that group.

From Global Permissions, I don't see jira-system-administrators listed.

Well, I feel stupid now.  The problem turned out to be that there wasn't a group called jira-system-administrators.  I followed the instructions in the linked article a little too literally.

Hello,

To what admin options you do not have access?

Jason Coan November 9, 2018

1.  Access to the marketplace has been disabled, I don't see the "settings" link/button to be able to re-enable it.

2. In global permissions, I don't have access to add groups to the system admin permission.

3. In User configuration, I don't have access to add members to the jira-system-administrators group.

4.  I'm guessing all other settings that only system admins can access, although I'm not sure exactly what those are.

Jason,

Only another System Admin can grant you the full system admin privileges.

Assuming I'm correctly understanding the article I linked above, I'm the only member of the only group that has the SYSTEM_ADMIN global permission.  There are no other system admins.  Not even the sysadmin account has SYSTEM_ADMIN permissions.
