Confluance LDAP group rename

Michal Machniak April 13, 2017

Hello,

We have latest version of Jira/Confulance connected to LDAP.  We like to change name of some groups in LDAP, all is working fine in Jira ... but on Confulance we have group dose not exist. I found -sql script to change it on DB

 

Update cwd_group set group_name='DEV_Jira_Con_AD_Changed', lower_group_name='DEV_Jira_Con_AD_Changed' where lower_group_name='DEV_Jira_Con_AD';
Update content_perm set groupname='DEV_Jira_Con_AD_Changed' where groupname='DEV_Jira_Con_AD';
Update spacepermissions set permgroupname='DEV_Jira_Con_AD_Changed' where permgroupname='DEV_Jira_Con_AD'

Change is working on 80%, I see changed group name and can chack properties and see members, but when I log in on confluance user form renamed group, I cannot enter spaces where reanem group was added. But I see all activity on my profile.

Is there a way to do i ?

Hi!
Changing group names in Jira doesn't have to be a hassle. With Group Master for Jira, it’s quick and easy! It just helps keep things organized with minimal effort.

If you need a hand, give it a try!

And other advanced group management capabilities:

  • View group usage across Jira
  • Edit group names for clarity
  • Move or copy group members easily
  • Replicate or migrate group usage
  • Delete groups and clean up associated data

Cheers,

Si

Those are the right queries, you should be able to access the spaces when logging in as a member of the new group name. Have you restarted the instance or flushed the database cache since running them?

To flush the cache:

Go to Confluence Admin > General Configuration > Cache
Management.
Locate 'Database Queries' and click the Flush link to the right of it.
