This article explains how to update the project lead of a project using the Jira Command Line Interface(CLI) app.

Instructions

Use the updateProject action with the project and lead parameters to modify the project lead of the project.

For Jira Cloud, use the email Id of the new project lead as the lead parameter value as shown:
```
--action updateProject --project ABCD --lead supportrequest@appfire.com
```
For Jira Server/Data center, use the user name, full name or email Id of the new project lead as the lead parameter value as shown:
