Can I use Atlassian Teams to assign Page permissions in Confluence?

[Alex Abdo]

Hey Atlassian Community!

With Atlassian Teams accessible under People > Start a team (https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/what-is-an-atlassian-team/), our users expect to be able to use these Teams created here in adding to Page Permissions/Space Permissions in Confluence Cloud.

If you view the screenshot below, it seems like there are "Admin-managed groups" which are the traditional groups available in the admin.atlassian.com portal, but where are the "team-managed groups" or something like that.

Looking through the Confluence Cloud documentation, there are no mentions of Atlassian Teams:

• https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/assign-space-permissions/
• https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/add-or-remove-page-restrictions/

Is this an expected feature? I went through the publicly available Confluence Cloud - Open Issues (https://jira.atlassian.com/issues/?filter=98690), but was unable to find anything mentioning this. I was also not able to find anything mentioned in the publicly available Cloud Roadmap (https://www.atlassian.com/roadmap/cloud?selectedProduct=confluence) or Confluence Cloud Premium Roadmap (https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/premium/roadmap).

Does someone have a solution for this or know any more info?

Thanks in advance!

Teams are not used for permissions but rather to connect and collaborate on content.  It allows any confluence user to create a team.  They can connect with others, help others stay notified, monitor other's information, and more.

@Brant Schroeder do you know if there's any intention to change this? The ability to assign teams to roles in a project would be a game-changer in allowing project and space admins to better self-manage access.

@Dave Nicholson I am not seeing anything on their roadmap and I am also not seeing a feature request for that functionality.  I would suggest submitting a feature request here: https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa

So atlassian is requiring us to do twice the work to manage groups and teams that are very likely the same thing.  Hmmm.

This seems like such an obvious thing that I am not surprised it's not possible. Oh Atlassian.
