Your user profile contains basic information about you, which other Confluence users can see. It's also displayed to other users when they click your name in the People Directory, if you haven't set up your personal space.

In your own profile, you can access account management features and update information about yourself, like your name, email address, and password. You can also view other users' profiles.

Choose your profile picture at top right of the screen, then select Profile, or select the Profile link in the sidebar of your personal space.

Handy Hint

Confluence administrators can configure Confluence to mask email addresses (e.g. 'example at atlassian dot com'), protecting your email address from search engine spiders and the like.

Notes

The Administer User link is visible to Confluence administrators only. The administrator can click this link to go directly to the user management screen in the Administration Console.
