Background

Introduced as part of the "Teams in Confluence Permissions", now in the Space Permissions UI (Manage Space → Permissions), EVERY group listed displays an "Admin group" label with a ✓ verified badge, regardless of the group's actual permission role in the space.

For example, a group with only the "Collaborator" role (e.g., confluence-users) still shows "Admin group ✓", which is identical to a group that actually has the "Admin" role.

The same happens when adding Restrictions via the Share button.

Why this is confusing

In the context of Space Permissions, "Admin" already has a specific meaning — it's the highest permission role a principal can have in a space. Displaying "Admin group" next to every group creates a false impression that all groups have admin-level access, which is:

• Misleading for space administrators trying to audit permissions

• Confusing for customers unfamiliar with the distinction between "how a group is managed" vs. "what role it has"

• Potentially alarming during security audits or compliance reviews

Request / Expected behavior

The byline label should either:

1. Not use the word "Admin" in a context where "Admin" already means a specific permission level, OR

1. Use a clearer label such as "Org-managed group", "Managed group" or simply "Group" with the ✓ badge, OR

1. Only show "Admin group" for groups that actually have the Admin role in that space
