      As things are today, only the name and members of the group are able to be synced over SCIM user provisioning.
      I would like to suggest that the description be able to be synced as well.

      The description being synced will aid users of Jira to better understand the intended purpose of the groups.

            [ACCESS-967] Allow syncing group description over SCIM

            These don't update for Okta provisioning either. Allowing Desc syncing would be VERY helpful.

            In the meantime... it would be nice if you would allow us to EDIT the DESCRIPTION MANUALLY, until you unlock the ability to sync the description.  You could soften the pain of the functional gap by enabling the ability to edit manually.

            Thanks,

            Mark

            Our organization has over 10k groups and descriptions are a way of audit controls. Without these mapping this causes a significant increase in duplicate efforts to align the Atlassian side group to the Azure Group + Description. Please implement this or provide us all with a way of adding a custom mapping from the Azure Group provisioning.

            This would be an incredibly useful feature for me as we use groups to help with access management and having descriptions is really helpful to ensure correct access is granted and to understand older access grants.

             Currently, the description field from Azure AD does not sync to Atlassian groups, which makes it challenging to maintain consistent group metadata across platforms.

            Syncing group descriptions would greatly enhance group management by ensuring that important context is consistent in both systems, reducing administrative overhead and minimizing errors. This would improve efficiency and user experience for teams managing group information.

            I hope this feature can be added soon as possible.
