Troubleshooting

Can't see the Admin menu?

Only System Administrators and users with Project Administrator permissions can access the Admin menu. Contact your administrator if you need system configuration access.

Missing specific menu items?

Menu visibility depends on:

  • Your edition: Increment requires Enterprise or Ultimate edition
  • Your permissions: Admin requires administrative permissions
  • Project assignments: You must be assigned to at least one project to see Portfolio, Product, Sprint menus

Verify your edition (hamburger menu > About Agility) and contact your administrator to adjust permissions or project assignments.

Can't access a specific planner?

Ensure you're a member of at least one project. Use the Project Navigator (planning level selector) to select a project context. If you still don't see the expected menu, verify your project role with your administrator.

Increment menu not visible?

Increment features are available in Enterprise and Ultimate editions only. Check your edition (hamburger menu > About Agility). Contact your administrator to upgrade if needed.
