Confluence 2.9 Documentation

Index

To add or remove a user from a group,

  1. 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 Confluence 'Administration Console'. To do this:

      • Open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Confluence Admin'. 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.
  2. Now you should be able to see the user's current details and links allowing you to edit them.

  3. 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.

    Is there a way to use multiple users to a group as the same time. I have created 20 users and all of them need to belong to a group I have created. I dont want to click on each user name, click on edit groups, add them and come back to browsing the users, click on the next and so on.

    I could not find under groups, any option where I could add users, although when I click on a group name, I find the members of that group. Seems like incomplete functionality to me.

      Hi Romil,

      An alternative way that I could think of is to use script to add users to group. I would suggest the use of addUserToGroup method stated in the document Remote API. In addition, there is an improvement request CONF-2191 on group management. Feel free to cast your vote on it.

      Regards,
      Fennie
