You need Confluence administrator permissions to be able to edit the details of a user. The details include the person's name, password, email address, group membership, and ability to access Confluence.

To update a user's details:

  1. First, go to the user management screen for the user concerned. There are two ways to do this:
    • Either,
      • Go to the user's Profile and click the 'Administer User' link on the user's profile screen.
    • Or,
      • Select the link 'Manage Users' in the left-hand panel.
      • Locate the user by doing a search on the username or the groups to which they belong.
      • Click the user link.
  2. Now you should be able to see the user's current details and links allowing you to edit them.
    • View Profile — View the user's profile.
    • Edit GroupsAdd or remove this user from a group.
    • Edit Details — Change details such as the user's name, email address, contact details and team or department information. In some instances you may be able to change usernames as well - see Changing Usernames for information.
    • Set Password — Edit the user's password details.
    • Delete — You can delete a user permanently if the user has not added or edited any content on the site.
    • Disable — You can disable (i.e. deactivate) access for a user who has already added or edited any content on the site.
