Problem Definition
As we don't currently support the renaming of groups via SCIM (ACCESS-800), if a synced group's name is updated in a customer's identity provider, the organization administrators need to delete the synced group in Atlassian, then re-sync it from their identity provider in order to update its name in Atlassian.
The groups that are synced via SCIM user provisioning can be found on the synced groups page in the identity provider directory.
- [https://admin.atlassian.com/o/[organizationId]/idp/[idpId]/groups]
However, the results on this page are unsorted and don't currently include any sorting or searching mechanism, so locating a specific synced group in the Atlassian UI to delete it can be a hassle.
Suggested Solution
Add a search dialog box on the synced groups page for an identity provider directory to allow administrators to filter the list of synced groups by name.
If feasible, also add the ability to sort the list of groups alphabetically by name or by the number of synced users.
Why this is important
For organizations with more than 20 synced groups, admins must manually review each page to locate a specific group. For organizations with hundreds or thousands of synced groups — which is common for enterprise customers — this manual search process is not scalable.
Adding a search option for the synced groups page would vastly improve its usability and aid in the discovery of specific synced groups.
Adding the ability to sort the synced groups would allow for easier discovery of specific synced groups which are unused or may otherwise need to be deleted.

[ACCESS-1523] Allow Synced Groups to be Searched and/or Sorted
This page is unusable in its current state. We have over 5000 defined groups, and it's nearly impossible to find the group we need to delete. The page doesn't even have a default sort implemented when you load it, as it loads in any order. This is a much-needed feature if you expect users to come here to remove groups that no longer match and not spend an inordinate amount of wasted time trying to find the correct group.
As an admin and also App developer, I cannot understand why usability for admins is so neglected whenever a list is presented. A filter for all present attributes and flags should be natural. For God sake, just allow a json dump somewhere to define a filter, add filtering to API (nothing is there).....
Housekeeping is insane
