Management of users groups on administration level

[Célia]

Hello,

We are currently cleaning our users groups on atlassian products. 

When we filter our users groups, some are attached to JIRA instance, STATUS page and others on CONFLUENCE instance, but the rest of them are "unattached" and we do not understand how they are managed and the purpose of it. 

Do you have any clue or advice to figure it out?

Thanks,

Hello @Célia 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Your company may be using and integration with your identity provider (i.e. Okta, Azure, etc). to provision users and populate your Atlassian Cloud Organization with user groups. These groups become may be available for use within all product subscriptions under a specific Site within your Atlassian Cloud Organization, or across all products in all Sites under your Organization. I recommend that you talk to your Organization Administrators to get a better understanding of how users and user groups may be getting automatically created in your Atlassian Cloud Organization.

It is also possible that administrators have manually created user groups within your Site(s) and Organization. In that case you will need to determine if the user groups were created from provisioning from your identity provider, or manually by Site Administrators.
