Use this interactive demo to learn how to grant a user Jira administrator access in your space.

Quick summary

This demo walks you through how to assign the Administrator role to a user in a Jira space using Space Settings. In just a few clicks, you can manage user roles directly from the People section without needing external tools.


Steps

  1. In your Jira space, head to the top navigation bar and click the More Actions button.
  2. Choose Space Settings from the list of options.
  3. In the left-hand panel, click People.
  4. Find the user whose role you want to edit, then click its corresponding Role menu.
  5. Tick the checkbox beside Administrators and uncheck the checkbox beside the user's current role.
  6. The selected user will now be a Jira administrator in your space.

📌 Why this matters

Managing user permissions in Jira is essential for maintaining project security and efficient team collaboration. The ability to assign the Administrator role directly from Space Settings gives team leads precise control over who can configure projects, manage workflows, and access sensitive settings. Proper role management in Jira reduces the risk of unauthorized changes and ensures the right people have the right level of access. This feature is especially valuable for growing teams that need scalable, auditable access control within their Jira workspaces.
