      Issue Summary

      This is reproducible on Data Center: yes

       

      Cloud doesn't have a confluence-administrator by default, but instead administrators.

      When you import a site from Cloud, administrators don't inherit all the permissions from the confluence-administrators group. Even if you create that group in Confluence later, since it's a special group, you can't assign all the permissions, so you will end up with a confluence site that doesn't have a full site administrator, as any other group you add, even with all permissions, will lack some features that only confluence-administrators provide.

        for i in $(ls restorecloud.?); do cat $i >> restorecloud.zip; done
        unzip restorecloud.zip

        Steps to Reproduce

      1. Export a site from Cloud
      2. Import the site into Confluence DC
      3. Use recovery admin to restore access to the site
      4. Check the confluence-administrator group
      5. Create the group if it didn't exist in your Cloud site
      6. Check the Global permissions and try to add all permissions to it

      Expected Results

       The confluence-administrator group should always exist or inherit all needed permissions when creating it.

      Actual Results

      You're not able to give any permissions to the confluence-administrators group

       

      Workaround

      You can manipulate the permissions in the DB
