Hello @Deepak V 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

There are multiple ways a default assignee may be set.

If you navigate to Project Settings > Summary and look at the Roles section, you may see a default assignee specified there.

If you navigate to Project Settings > Components, you may see a default assignee specified for one or more Components.

The assignee may also be getting set through a Post Function in the Workflow, or through an Automation Rule.

If the default assignee for an issue is being set based on the Components or the higher level Project Summary setting then you must be a Project Administrator for that project to change that.

If the default assignee is getting set by the workflow, you must be a Jira Administrator to change that.

If it is set through an Automation Rule, then a Project Administrator may be able to change that, or it may require Jira Administrator permissions.

If you are neither a Project Administrator for the project or a Jira Administrator, you will need to contact those people to get assistance.
