To update a user's details,

  1. Go to the 'Administration Console' and click on the link 'Manage Users' in the left panel.

  2. Locate the user by doing a search on the user's mail id or the groups to which they belong.

  3. Click on the user link. This will display the user's current details and links to edit them.

    • View Profile : View the user's profile.

    • Edit Groups : Add or remove this user from a group.

    • Edit Details : Edit the user's name and email address. Changing a user's username is not supported through the application, see Changing Usernames for other solutions.

    • Set Password : Edit the user's password details.

    • Deactivate : It is not possible to 'remove' a user if the user is responsible for content on the site because Confluence will need the user information to maintain history of pages. In this instance, you can deactivate the user so that they can no longer log in to Confluence.

    • Remove : You can remove a user permanently if the user has not added or edited any content on the site.
Deactivating users

This functionality was removed in Confluence 2.1.x. See Removing a User for more information.
