Rename Group in Confluence

The Challenges in Confluence Group Management

Confluence doesn’t let you rename groups natively, forcing admins into complex workarounds:

No built-in rename support

Confluence doesn’t provide a reliable and convenient way to change group names.This makes permission maintenance more difficult for admins.

Manual database changes are risky

Renaming groups via database scripts is possible but dangerous.Mistakes can break permissions and disrupt workflows.

Time-consuming cleanup & reconfiguration

Restructuring groups during reorgs or cleanup causes hassle.Without a dedicated tool, this slows down admin work significantly.

Merge groups when needed
