Is this a Company-managed project? If so, go to Settings (gear icon in upper right) \> Issues \> Issue Security Schemes (on the bottom left).

I also clicked the "..." in the upper right, but there's no "project setting".![Untitled.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/335155i8B82849DDAA2FE47/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Untitled.png")

author: John Funk
body: Ah, that's the problem. You are not a Jira Administrator and will not be able to add the security level yourself. You will need to get one of your Jira Admins to do that.


author: Cindy Li
body: Thank you, John, I will contact our Jira Admin.


author: John Funk
body: :-) Let us know how it goes!


author: Cindy Li
body: Sure. Thank you!

body: Hi Cindy,

Looks like you do not have permission to set the issue security level. You need to have **Administer Jira permission to set this.**This is available under global permission and your org admin can give you this permission.
