## Feature(s) impacted

All CRUD operations on Collections are forbidden.

## Observed behavior

User is an Admin, and assigned to a Role. When I go to the Roles there is no ability to add permissions for certain collections

## Expected behavior

I would expect to be able to add permissions for collections and have CRUD access

## Failure Logs

Developer console is showing 403 forbidden

Hi @KidA001,

Have you followed the V8 release [note](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/extra-help/maintain/upgrade-notes-rails/upgrade-to-v8)?  
Starting with v8, the forest\_liana gem uses the new role v2 system. You need to follow this [procedure](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/extra-help/maintain/migrate-to-the-new-role-system) to migrate your v1 role to v2.

It says I need to:

> ask someone from the Forest Admin customer success team to switch your project to a “Ready to migrate” status.‌

So can someone here do that for me?

@anon21153075 can someone from Forest switch my project to “Ready to migrate” as your documentation says?
