In some cases, an organization may need to allow only the administrators to change the users' profile pictures for security reasons. In this article, we will describe how to hide the ability to edit profile pictures. 

Please bear in mind that according to our Support Offerings, Atlassian doesn't provide support for customisations. This test was performed in a Confluence 5.5.2 version.


  1. Go to Confluence Admin > Look&Feel session
  2. Choose Global Stylesheet
  3. Insert the following:

    .edit-my-picture-profile
    { display: none; }
