      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.
