Description

Improve the Confluence Analytics Global Permissions configuration screen to be usable and performant for tenants with large numbers of groups, by switching from an “all groups in a scrollable list” pattern to an “explicitly add allowed groups” pattern.

On the Analytics global permissions screen, the current UI:

• Loads and displays all groups in one very long, scrollable list

• Requires us to scroll through all groups and toggle each one we want to grant Analytics access to

• Does not provide an “empty state → add specific groups” permission model

This pattern becomes very painful and error‑prone for large tenants:

• It’s difficult to locate the intended group(s) among hundreds or thousands of synced groups

• It’s easy to miss or toggle the wrong groups

• The screen becomes slow and cumbersome when handling a large number of groups

• It creates unnecessary administrative overhead for what should be a simple configuration

Suggestion

Update the Analytics Global Permissions configuration so that it follows a more modern, scalable pattern:

1. Allow‑list / “Add groups” model
   • Use a searchable, type‑ahead group picker so admins can quickly find and select the exact groups they want (for example our main “Confluence users” group that already grants site access).
2. Better handling of large group lists
   • Avoid rendering all groups at once in a single massive list.
   • Use search, filtering, and pagination instead of a full unfiltered dump of every synced group.{}
3. Consistency with other permission UIs

• • Align the Analytics permissions experience with other permission pickers in Atlassian Cloud products where you:
  • Add specific users/groups via a picker
  • See a concise list of who currently has access, rather than a full list of everyone who doesn’t.
