Adding or Removing Users in Groups
Confluence Groups are a great way to cut down the work required when managing permissions and restrictions.
You can edit group membership in two places:
- From the group management screen
- From the user management screen for a particular user
You need Confluence Administrator or System Administrator global permission to do this.

- Go to
> General Configuration > Groups. - Choose the group.

About multiple directories
Here is a summary of how the directory order affects the processing:
- The order of the directories is the order in which they will be searched for users and groups.
- Changes to users and groups will be made only in the first directory where the application has permission to make changes.
