In June 2021, Atlassian [reduced the scopes Connect apps require](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/announcing-the-connect-app-authorization-guide/49191) to query for global and project-related permissions.

Wouldn’t it make sense to also reduce the scopes that Connect apps require to query [which filters are visible to users](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/api-group-filters/#api-rest-api-2-filter-search-get)?
