It depends on what you mean by "super admin rights"

To summarise the documentation @ck pointed you at earlier, there are two levels of Administrator in Jira:

Jira System Admin: Has complete access to all administrative functions. Restricted to Atlassian people on the OnDemand platform, so you will NOT be able to grant it to anyone.

Jira Admin: Can configure the application, but is missing rights that are system level.

From global permission - refer https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Managing+Global+Permissions

Give both 'JIRA System Administrators' and 'JIRA Administrators' access to them.

i know, But I dont see the option to make give the permission of jira System Administrator.. I see Jira Administrator but not the Jira System Administrator.

[Vartika Garg]

in that case.. Administrator rights are the super Admin rights?

Whoever is administrator he has the the most available rights to do things in Jira.

Soryr about that -:

Jira Version is

Version

6.1-OD-05-2

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

OD? Does that mean you are using "OnDemand", where you can not create system admins because it's limited to Atlassian support?

[Vartika Garg]

yeah, I think so!

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Ok, well, if you're using OnDemand, you can't have System Admin rights, it's limited to support people at Atlassian.
