Hi. Every time I add a new group, it is very tedioius to go back and click on each user, then click on edit groups, then click the new group, then click join, then click Back three times to get back to the list of users.
I would like a group management interface:
- A (filtered) list of all users with checkboxes by their names.
- filtered list should be able to show users not in a group too.
- check-all and uncheck-all links
- a group dropdown
- "add these users to group" button
- "remove these users from group" button. (no errors if they're not already in the group)
Other additions that would help:
- rename groups
- re-sort groups
- quickly see what space permissions a group has

[CONFSERVER-2191] Group management improvements

added a comment - Technical review complete, please see review comments for issues. Confluence 2.10 will feature an improved user/group management.
Now multiple users can be added to a group via the user-picker. When viewing a group, users can be removed with a single click. There are three outstanding suggestions for which I will create separate tickets.
- rename groups (CONF-13571)
- re-sort groups
- quickly see what space permissions a group has (
CONF-13572)
I am not quite sure what "re-sort groups" is supposed to do, but if somebody has any insight I am happy to create a separate issue for this as well.
Cheers,
Jens

added a comment - So how do I rename group in Confluence? Is there anyone who can write SQL for this? Or name all the tables and fields that hold the group names.

You can easily script almost any user management task and even bulk import from .csv file. I can thoroughly recommend this, it saved me a lot of time adding 100's user to groups.

Jira got this obviously needed feature already - see http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/JIRA+3.5+Release+Notes, so why not Confluence?
This feature is documented here for Confluence and here for Confluence Hosted for Small Businesses.
