Adding or Removing a User from a Group

To add or remove a user from a group,

First, go to the user management screen for the user concerned. There are two ways to do this:
- Either,
  - Go to the user's Profile and click the 'Administer User' link on the user's profile screen. (This link is available in Confluence 2.8.2 and later.)
- Or,
  Go to the 'Administration Console' view. To do this:
  - Go to a page in the space and choose 'Administration' from the 'User' menu, which is labelled with your Confluence username. The 'Administration Console' view will open.
  - Select 'Manage Users' in the left-hand panel.
    All members of the Confluence-Users group are listed in alphabetical order, by first name. To find a user, you can either browse through the pages or do a search on the user's 'mail ID' or the group to which they belong.
  - Click the user link.
Now you should be able to see the user's current details and links allowing you to edit them.
Click 'Edit Groups'. This will display two lists of groups:
- 'Not a member of groups' — All groups to which the user does not belong. To add the user to a group, select a group and click 'Join'. Hold the Ctrl key down and click to select more than one group.
- 'Member of groups' — All groups to which the user belongs. Select a group and click 'Leave' to remove the user from the group.

You cannot use the Edit Groups option to add or remove users from external groups, as Confluence access to LDAP and JIRA groups is read-only.
