      Issue Summary

      There is currently no API endpoint to rename a group in Jira Cloud. As a result, users must delete the existing group, create a new group with the desired name, and relink it to the managed team. This workaround is inefficient and causes confusion due to notification emails sent to admin users when a managed team is restored.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a new group using the The Jira Cloud platform REST API.
      2. Create a managed team and link it to the group using the The Teams REST API.
      3. Attempt to rename the group (no API endpoint available).
      4. As a workaround, delete the group, create a new group with the updated name, and relink it to the managed team.

      Expected Results

      There should be an API endpoint that allows renaming an existing group without deleting and recreating it

      Actual Results

      There is no API endpoint to rename a group. As a workaround, the group must be deleted and recreated, which triggers notification emails to all admin users when the managed team is restored. 

      Workaround

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