How to disable profile editing by users
Purpose
To prevent users from editing their profile.
Customisations are not supported
Note that Atlassian support does not cover customisations to Velocity files, such as those described on this page.
All files should be located under <confluence-install>\confluence\users.
Solution
Removing the Save Profile Option.
To remove the option that allows people to select save changes to their profile, you will need to edit the Velocity template (.vm file) as described below.
Locate your
editmyprofile.vmfile under<confluence-install>\confluence\users\editmyprofile.vm- Edit this file with your favorite editor, such as Wordpad, Notepad or Notepad++ (recommended). The file looks something like this:
#macro (renderIfEdit $markup)
#trim()
#if ($editMode == true)
$!generalUtil.htmlEncode($markup)
#else
$!statusTextRenderer.render($markup)
#end
#end
#end
#set($viewingMyProfile = $personalInformationEntity.belongsTo($remoteUser))
<html>
<head>
<title>$generalUtil.htmlEncode($pageTitle)</title>
#requireResource("confluence.web.resources:aui-forms")
#requireResource("confluence.userstatus:userstatus-resources")
</head>
#if ($editMode)
#set($mode = "edit-profile-single")
#else
#set($mode = "edit-profile-three")
#end
#applyDecorator("root")
