      Problem

      Currently, Confluence Cloud administrators can only enable or restrict "Space Analytics" (global permissions) for specific groups through the manual UI at https://<site-name>.atlassian.net/wiki/analytics/permissions. There is no available REST API endpoint to automate the assignment or removal of these permissions for selected groups.

      Suggested Solution

      Provide a REST API endpoint (e.g., within the Confluence Cloud REST API) that allows administrators to:

      • Retrieve the list of groups currently granted global Analytics access.
      • Add or remove specific groups from the Analytics permissions list programmatically.

      Why This Is Important

      For Enterprise customers with a large number of groups or those who use external Identity Providers (IdP) to manage access, manual UI updates are inefficient and prone to human error. Automating this via API is essential for scalable governance and ensuring that the right users have access to data insights without manual intervention.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
