Unable to change project scheme

[Ananth Krishnan]

Hello,

We have JIRA on cloud (for our company).  Our admin user is unable to associate a permission scheme to a Project.  Due to this, we are unable to enable time tracking for the issues.  As per documentation from this URL https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/configuring-project-permission-schemes-868982875.html, Admin user should be able to change the project scheme.  But Admin user is not having any options to change project scheme.

Thank you,

Ananth

I suspect your project is a Next-gen one, which don't have permission schemes.

[Ananth Krishnan]

Yes - is it possible for us to change it to classic project type?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Not directly.  You have to create a new classic project then move all the issues from the Next-gen project into it.

Any other way that I can enable Time tracking in next gen project? Moving issues to a new project is difficult as I have assigned to different users (including clients & partners)

Your admin user needs to be a user with the Administer Jira permission.
