Permissions levels are not clear when adding namespaces

The GitLab for Jira Cloud app can only link groups. It works for top-level or subgroups. It does not work for projects or personal namespases.

Problem

When wanting to link a group (or subgroup) in the GitLab for Jira Cloud app, one must have Owner or Maintainer role for a group.

The term "namespace" is confusing and should be changed to "group".

Proposal

  1. Remove the term "namespace" and only use the term "groups".
  2. Describe which roles are needed in order to see a namespace.

Only groups you have at least the Maintainer role for appear here.

Not seeing your Groups?
Make sure you have "Owner" or "Maintainer" permissions set at that group level. (see comment).
