      Edit group name BETA
      We're unable to edit the group name jira-software-users, as it is used in Jira administration settings.
      To edit this group name, first remove the group from the following Jira settings:

       

      The above hyperlinks go to

      • [YOUR_SITE_NAME.atlassian.net/jira/filters]
      • [YOUR_SITE_NAME.atlassian.net/jira/filters]

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a private filter
      2. In the filter's JQL query refer to a group
      3. As a user without access to the private filter, try and change the name of the group referred to in step 2
      4. It's not possible unless you go through every single private filter, change its owner to yourself, and check its JQL for reference to the group

      Expected Results

      Admins should be able to know which filters are blocking them from renaming a group.

      Actual Results

      Admins are unable to know which filters are blocking them from renaming a group.

      Workaround

      A user with the Administer Jira Global permission can go to 
      YOUR_SITE_NAME.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/filter/search?expand=jql&overrideSharePermissions=true

      and search for the group name to see which filter it is used in.

      Once you know the filter's name you can go to YOUR_SITE_NAME.atlassian.net/secure/admin/filters/ViewSharedFilters.jspa and delete the filter:
