How to create groups in Jira, so that they can be added under Watchers ?

[Baba Farooq Basha]

Hi All, 

I am trying to add around 8-10 members of my team under a group and add them under Watchers? 

The first thing I am not sure how to create Groups in Jira, so that they can be added under Watchers?

Kindly guide me out, thank you.

Hi @Baba Farooq Basha  - You cannot add a group to the Watcher list. See this for more info:

But regardless, to add a group to Jira, you need to have site-admin privileges in Jira. If you have that, then go to Settings > User Management
