Hello OpenMRS Community and Infra Team,

I am writing to kindly ask for assistance with my Jira permissions on `openmrs.atlassian.net`.

My OpenMRS ID is **`supersaiyan101`** (email: `anavaysharma111@gmail.com`).

### The Problem

I previously opened Helpdesk ticket **ISD-20572** to set up my access. While my account was created, it currently remains in **read-only mode** :

- The comment box does not appear at all under issues in the `TRUNK` project (under Activity, only All / History / Work log show up).
- I am unable to comment, ask questions on tickets, or take part in discussions.

### Context & Contributions

I’ve been trying to get this sorted for quite a while now, and it has been rather frustrating being unable to interact on Jira despite actively contributing to the codebase. I currently have two pull requests submitted to `openmrs-core` that have all tests passing and reviews addressed:

- **[PR #6706 (TRUNK-6825)](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-core/pull/6706)**: Addressed review suggestions from @jwnasambu, implemented a distinct mock, all CI and SonarCloud checks passing.
- **[PR #6748 (TRUNK-6854)](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-core/pull/6748)**: Role & privilege name case-insensitivity fix, green test suite, SonarCloud passing.

I would love to be an active, communicative contributor, but being locked out of commenting on Jira has made collaborating difficult.

### Request

Could an administrator please verify my account permissions and add `supersaiyan101` to the appropriate `jira-users` / contributor group so I have standard comment permissions on Jira issues?

Thank you very much for your time and help in resolving this.

Best regards, Anavay Sharma OpenMRS ID: `supersaiyan101` GitHub: `Supersaiyan101`

Kindly you already have access to Jira/wiki, so you should be able to log in to the issue tracker.

Hi @jwnasambu, thank you for checking!

To clarify: I am able to log in to Jira without any issues.The problem is that once logged in, my account is in **read-only mode** on issues (such as in the TRUNK project):

The **Comments** tab and the comment text box do not appear at all under activity (only all, history, and work log are visible) because of this, I cannot leave comments, ask questions, or participate on tickets.

Could you or an administrator please check if my account (`supersaiyan101`) has the **“Add Comments”** permission or needs to be added to the `jira-software-users` / contributor group in the project’s permission scheme?

Thank you so much!
