We fully agree and understand the meaning of the community. Communication is vital. But my main point is we still need to know the desired process flow of what is expected. To date we have not been informed of the proper steps. So having a process outlined is important. This isn't something

First, I hope you added them to the admin role for VCL and not the jira-administrators group. This is merely a technicality. But to add some color to this thread, VCL PPMC members are entitled to admin privileges to most project infrastructure which at the moment is Jira and Confluence.
