Org admins can now rename Managed Teams in team profile pages

[#1]

Hi everyone 👋

My name is April, I’m a product manager building Atlassian Team features.

Earlier in the year, we released Managed Teams. These are teams that have been connected to a group, which becomes the source of truth for membership in that team. You can connect either an externally managed group or a local Atlassian group.

Next week onwards, you can rename your Managed Teams by going directly to the team profile.

From August onwards, you will be able to rename Managed Teams in Atlassian Administration itself when connecting the group. We will make another post when this is available.

Why we built this

Your feedback was a big factor in this, we heard from many organizations that your group names weren’t friendly to end users.

How to rename your managed teams

Renaming your Managed Team is the same as renaming any other team.

If connecting group to a new team:

1. Visit the team profile of your Managed Team.

2. To rename the team:

   a) Click into team name and rename the team inline.
   b) Click into the ‘team settings’ dialog and rename the team in the ‘team name’ field.

3. In Atlassian Administration, you will see that your team has been renamed successfully.

If connecting group to an existing team:

If you create a managed team by connecting a group to an existing team, the team name should rename the same. 

Please feel free to comment and leave any feedback!

Hi @April Chi this is really welcome quality-of-life improvement. This feature should make team profiles much cleaner and more intuitive for everyone.
