I need more detail in how to follow the instructions below. not sure how to start

 

3. Rename the Group

If you are going to link Confluence to a different Directory and would like to transfer the permissions from group A (current) to group B (synced from the new directory), you can skip this step.

Collapse

UPDATE cwd_group
SET group_name = 'NEW_GROUP_NAME',
lower_group_name = 'NEW_GROUP_NAME'
WHERE group_name = 'OLD_GROUP_NAME';

 

Otherwise, update the group in the external directory that hosts the target group. e.g. JIRA or Active Directory.

Hi @EQ Bank 

If you want to change a group name on Cloud, you can't. You have to create a new group and then assign all users from the old group to the new group. The excerpt you posted is for confluence server.
