project empty

[Ivan Andrieiev]

I recently became an administrator and wanted to clarify if I log into a project and it says "This project is not available. Perhaps everything has been deleted, or your rights have been changed." What happened to the project? How to restore it?

Hi @Ivan Andrieiev 

Being a Jira Administrator doesn't mean you automatically have access to everything in Jira. Who can access projects is determined by the Permission Scheme for that project. So it sounds like the Permission Scheme has changed and whatever role you might have been in has been removed. 

If you edit the permission scheme to include Administrators for the Browse Project permission, you should see it again. 

Of course, all of that assuming it has not been deleted. But that can only be done by a Jira Admin as well and it should be in the Project Trash.
