The People Directory provides a list of all users in your Confluence system. If you need to disable the People Directory set the following system properties on your application server command line:
-Dconfluence.disable.peopledirectory.anonymous=true
-Dconfluence.disable.peopledirectory.all=true These two properties are available in Confluence 2.5.2 and later.

If you are running a Confluence standalone edition, this can be done by editing the setenv.bat file which is available in the ${catalina.home}/bin directory.
You may be interested to look at the documentation as outlined here as a reference on how to add the additional parameter to the setenv.bat file.
Hope the information helps.
Cheers,
Tony

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -Dconfluence.disable.peopledirectory.anonymous=true
(Line has wrapped. The above is all one line.)
However, the people directory is still alive and well for anonymous.
I also removed any links I could find related to people directory in the decorators/global.vmd file but the people directory is still available on the dashboard.
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Carl

It simply prevents anonymous users from browsing the directory. But they can still access all the user profiles, if they somehow find or guess the link to them.
The dashboard itself lists links to recently updated user profiles, another option is using Google.

What you can do is create a Custom Dashboard. On this dashboard, you can exclude the user profiles from the recently updates list. So you will not see them by default.
The weird thing is, when you "hide" the peoples directory as described here, and then try to access the peoples directory, it will link you directly to the original dashboard and show up all the recently updated user profiles.
In addition, you can prevent search engine indexing on your site.

The default should have the People Directory hidden - surely?
At the very least I would have anticipated being able to set permissions on this area via the UI not have to do it via a command line. Please can this be included as a change request?

People Directory provides a list of all users in your Confluence system. Disabling the People Directory can avoid anonymous user accesses through the company's people directory. Additionally, it can be totally disabled to avoid any users access it. Therefore, user can have the options to hide/disable it.
I would suggest you to raise an improvement request at our issue tracker. Thanks.

I have even deleted the entire stanza instead of just commenting it out and it's still there. Any idea where confluence is still picking this up? I've stopped and restarted multiple times.

To my understanding, modification made to the Global Layout via the Administration console as well as the global.vmd file available in /decorators directory would take effect if the Confluence instance is configured to use the "Default Theme". If other themes is used instead, you would have to modify the global layout files that relates to the specific theme.
If the "Default Theme" is used and the modification does not take effect, feel free to raise a support request to reflect the problem that you are seeing.
Cheers,

We have not identified any changes in the configuration but now the people directory is not showing anymore. To be precise, only two users are now showing and the rest are hidden. Any hints how to go back to the previous configuration? We just want all users to appear in the People Directory.... Thanks.

$helper.renderConfluenceMacro("
and add some filter that takes them out. I've found "space=*" to work for that.
Of course if you're using any theme other than the default, you'll need to do that change inside the corresponding .jar file, which is painful but doable.
Salut,

You need to extract <Confluence Home>bundled-plugins/confluence-classic-theme-2.0.jar, edit the global.vmd in that file, repackaged and redploy.
You also need to delete/move atlassian-bundled-plugins.zip in <Confluence install>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/com/atlassian/confluence/setup as otherwise Confluence will re-deploy the original version at every startup and overwrite the changes you made to confluence-classic-theme-2.0.jar.
Thanks to Atlassian support for the help.
