Confluence can mask the email addresses of users to protect them from mail spammers.

This is done by a site administrator and is configured through the Administration Console. The site administrator has three options for email address privacy:

  • Public: email addresses are displayed publicly.
  • Masked: email addresses are still displayed publicly, but masked in such a way to make it harder for spam-bots to harvest them.
  • Private: only site administrators can see the email addresses.

Note

Anyone in the confluence-admin group will still be listed (with their email address) on the administrators page, although their addresses will be masked.
