Restoring administrator access
This page explains how to recover administrator access to a project of your SonarQube Cloud organization.
If you lost administrator access to a project of your organization, you can restore it if you’re an organization admin:
At the project level. This requires the Browse Project permission in case of a private project.
By using the Projects Management page. This is only possible with an Enterprise plan.
By using the API.
At the project level
Retrieve your project. See Retrieving projects for more details.
In the left sidebar, select Administration > Restore access. The Restore admin permissions dialog opens.
Select the Restore permissions button. You are now granted the Administer and/or Browse permission for the project.
By using the Projects Management page
This method is only possible with an Enterprise plan organization.
To restore administrator access to a project by using the Projects Management page:
Retrieve your organization. See Retrieving your organizations for more details.
Go to Administration > Projects Management.
In the three-dot menu at the far right of the project line, select Restore access. You will then be granted the Administer and/or Browse permission for the project.
By using the API
Use the add_user API endpoint to grant an organization administrator admin
permission to the project. To identify the project, you can use the projectKey
