User List Macro

Add the User List macro to a page to display a list of Confluence users, in a particular group. The macro can also indicate when users are online or offline. 

This is a legacy macro, and can cause performance issues in very large sites. We recommend you don't use this macro to attempt to show all users in a site.

Limitations

The User List macro can be quite memory hungry in sites with lots of users.  To prevent it causing out of memory errors in your site, we don't show this macro if there are more than 10,000 people in the groups specified. Your administrator can change this limit using the confluence.extra.userlister.limit system property.

Add this macro to your page

To add the User List macro to a page:

  1. Unable to render {include} The included page could not be found.
  2. Choose User List from the Confluence content category.
  3. Enter the group you want to display.
  4. Choose Insert

You can then publish your page to see the macro in action.
