Changing Organization Admin

[Shawn Platzker]

Hi Jira!

I'd like to change the organization admin of our Jira account to another member of our team - how might I go about doing this? I'm not seeing the option in User Management.

Very Best,

Shawn

You'll have to be an Org admin to be able to do that - so, if you're not already the org admin then you'll need the existing one to 'promote' you to it.

Gotcha! I am actually the org admin - how might I promote someone else?

Stealing this other answer from another post - https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Atlassian-Access-questions/How-do-I-grant-user-quot-Organization-Admin-quot-rights/qaq-p/1171673

"The org admin must go to admin.atlassian.com > Click on the organization name > Settings > Administrators > Add administrators."

Just noticed that is for Access - looking for a better explanation for you...

This one is for JIRA - you add new org admins in the same area.

(I'm not an org admin either, else I would grab screenshots for you. I hope this helps!)
