    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Currently we only show when a group is used in:

      • Permission Schemes
      • Notification Schemes
      • Issue Security Schemes
      • Shared filters

      A more complete list of locations where a group can be used is:

      • Permission Schemes
      • Notification Schemes
      • Issue Security Schemes
      • Shared filters
      • Project Roles
      • Global Permissions
      • Custom field values
      • Post functions in workflows
      • Conditions in workflows
      • Shared dashboards
      • Filter subscriptions
      • Plugins (we can't help check this one, because we don't know how plugins will use this)

      We should extend this functionality to check as many places as possible because understanding the impact of changes to groups is very difficult for admins at this time.

      You can work around this in part given the queries at: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAKB/How+to+identify+group+usage+in+JIRA

            From my point of view, the "usage" list lacks a specific location when allowing groups in "Comment Visibility" restriction with global settings "Comment visibility => Groups & Project Roles"
            Then a group can be used to restrict Comment visibility.

            Groups are obviously stepchildren to the manufacturer.

            • Insufficient information about group assignments
            • No possibility to rename groups

            At least showing project roles can not be such a big challenge

            To know where a group is used is important since you may need to create a new group and move some users from the old group to the new group, and the new group members must still can access the projects that old groups joined.

            A group can also be used in the "User Filtering" config of a "User picker" field. Can that be added to the list in the description please? And perhaps a SQL query to identify the groups could be added here?: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-identify-group-usage-in-jira-441221524.html

            It would be great to have this in admin view, so I don`t have to check it via database

            Voting for this issue because Jira Admins need to be able to see groups across Jira entities such as project roles in order to maintain security when using Crowd and Active Directory.
