Rename a managed team

The group name and managed team name can be different.

• If you create a managed team by connecting to an existing team, the team name will remain unchanged.

• If you connect a managed team to a new team, you can rename the team to a more user-friendly name that is different to a group.

• After connecting the group and the team, you can rename the team anytime by:

In Atlassian Administration:

1. Go to the profile page of the team

2. Click … in the top right

3. Click edit team name

In team profile page:

1. Go to the profile page of the team

2. Edit the team name as you usually would by editing it inline or clicking … to edit it in team settings modal

Delete or disconnect a managed team

To disconnect a managed team from a group:

1. In Atlassian Administration, navigate to the group you want to disconnect a team from.

2. Select the more actions menu (•••).

3. Select Disconnect team.

Once disconnected, the team will:

• Become a normal team with invite-only membership.

• Still be attached to any work from when it was a managed team.

For any changes to a group that’s connected to a team:

• The connected team will be deleted. The team can still be restored within 30 days, but it will be restored as a team with invite-only membership.

• If you disconnect the Atlassian group in the identity provider, it will remain a SCIM-synced group.

• If you disconnect the identity provider from Atlassian entirely, the group will become a local group and the team will still be connected to the group.
