Editing User Details

To update a user's details,

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 the link 'Manage Users' in the left-hand panel.
  - Locate the user by doing a search on the username or the groups 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.
- 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 — Deactivation is an alternative to removing a user. It is not possible to remove a user if the user is responsible for content on the site. The reason is that Confluence will need the user information to maintain a history of the pages they have updated. In this case, 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 (unavailable) : This functionality was removed in Confluence 2.1.x. See Removing a User for more information.
