## \uD83E\uDD14 Problem

In Confluence cloud, you might be able to add a space workflow in most of the spaces, but there can be more restricted spaces where you may see the error 'Must be admin' even when you are a confluence administrator and a space administrator.

e.i.,

## \uD83C\uDF31 Solution

This issue is usually related to the Comala Workflows user not having enough permissions in the space. To solve this:

1. Check if the **Comala Workflows for Confluence Cloud** **user** has the corresponding space permissions, as explained here: [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=CDMC&title=Fixing%20Permissions%20Problem](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=CDMC&title=Fixing%20Permissions%20Problem).
  1. If the **Comala Workflows for Confluence Cloud** **user** is not visible in the space permissions, please try to add it by typing its ID `5d2dada317e1d20cfaa6fbdd`.
  2. If the option is not feasible, try **reinstalling** Comala Document Management in your instance. (Reinstalling the app is safe, and no data is lost during the process; Page status, workflows, etc. will remain untouched.)
  3. If reinstalling the Comala Document Management app doesn’t help with this permission issue, please contact **[Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/)** about the **Comala Workflows for Confluence Cloud** **users** not being displayed when adding it to the space permissions.
