There are two ways a new user can be added to Confluence:
Public Signup: Enabling public signup from the Administration Console allows users to sign themselves up to the site.
By Confluence Administrators : If you want to restrict your site to a select group of users, you may want to disable 'Public Signup'. In this instance, administrators with Confluence Administrator or System Administrator permissions can add new users from the Administration Console.
To add a new user to Confluence from the Administration Console,
-
Go to the Confluence 'Administration Console'. To do this:
- Open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Confluence Admin'. The 'Administrator Access' login screen will be displayed.
- Enter your password and click 'Confirm'. You will be temporarily logged into a secure session to access the 'Administration Console'.
- Select 'Manage Users' in the left-hand panel.
- Click the link 'Add new user' at the top of the page.
- In the form displayed, enter the user's details: username, password, name and email address.
- Click 'Create' to add the user.
