Confluence Groups for Administrators
Default groups
Create a new group
To add a new group:
- Go to > Groups.
Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include'
User 'null' does not have permission to view the page.
- Choose Add Group.
- Enter a name for your group and choose Save. Group names must be lower case.
You're now ready to start adding users to the group.
Delete a group
To delete a group:
- Go to > Groups.
Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include'
User 'null' does not have permission to view the page.
- Choose Delete next to the group you want to remove.
Deleting a group removes all permission restrictions associated with it. This means that members of this group may loose access to spaces that use this group to grant their permissions, and pages / blogs that are only only restricted to this group will become available to all confluence users.
If you have Confluence Data Center, you can Inspect permissions to find out which spaces are using this group, before you delete it.

About multiple user 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.
