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:
- To disable the People Directory for anonymous users:
-Dconfluence.disable.peopledirectory.anonymous=true
- To disable the People Directory entirely:
-Dconfluence.disable.peopledirectory.all=true
This workaround will prevent the People Directory from appearing on the dashboard for all users, however, a "People" breadcrumb link will still appear in the top left corner of a user's profile.
The link goes to <CONFLUENCE_INSTALL>/browsepeople.action
which will remain accessible to Confluence administrators, but end-users will receive a 'Not Permitted' error when they try to access this link.
