Cant assign Organization Policy Administrator role to myself

I am the sole owner of the organization, yet when i wanted to modify a policy, it says that i don't have the permission:

I researched and noted that the Organization Policy Administrator role has those permissions, yet, when i want to assign that role to myself, it doesn't appear on the list:

Even though i see it in the roles list:

What am i doing wrong? I am finding this quite frustrating being the fact that I don't have the permissions even though I am the owner of the organization.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @oteiza-a 

Did you've tried to add this policy AT THE ORGANIZATION level of IAM ? 
Or you can use this command 

gcloud organizations add-iam-policy-binding YOUR_ORG_ID --member='user:YOUR_EMAIL' --role='roles/orgpolicy.policyAdmin'

cheers,

This was harder than necessary to understand, but I simply had to select my main organization from the projects selector and then set the permissions, this way the permissions are inherited to the other projects. Also, you can use the gcloud command that @DamianS shows in the console (this was my first time using GCP so i didn't know how to use the gcloud console).
