User Story
As a Confluence administrator I need to be able to grant permissions to user-created "team" objects in addition to individual users and groups because these are the only multi-user objects editable by non-admins and I do not have time to manage everyone's groups.
Context
Group management in Atlassian tools has been a tremendous pain point since...ever.
- The typical Confluence administrator pool is very small
- In even a medium-sized organization, the number of create\add\remove\delete actions on organizational units can be high.
- As of now, it's still not possible to sync groups from third-party IdP's, so any group management you want is going to be manual.
- In addition to their official OU's most organizations have a secondary set of informal groups beyond the "official" ones, whose memberships are both fluid and not recorded.
"Teams" seems like a great compromise - it's like a group, but users can maintain them - however as of now you can't actually do anything with a 'team'. It just exists in the system like a bicycle designed for fish, taunting us with it's unrealized potential.
More context from a related ticket:
(For Jira and Confluence / Atlassian Cloud)
Please add more functionality to "People and Teams."
More specifically: Be able to use Teams in Space Permissions and Page Permissions like regular managed Groups in Atlassian Cloud. Currently, users can only use Teams by @mentioning them in Jira tickets or Confluence pages. User want to be able to create their own groups and manage the members.

Our Confluence site admins don't have time to set up groups for the entire organisation and manage them every time someone joins or leaves. This is another really basic concept that seems to be difficult to manage on Confluence for some reason.
I wish I could go back to the old version of Confluence of about 10 years ago where functionality was simple and intuitive. There are too many features now that we'll never use and not enough effort being spent on simple, useful things, like this.
Let me manage my own groups (teams) within my own space! I shouldn't have to raise a Jira ticket, then wait for ICT (our site admins) to do this, I should be able to do this myself!
