Confluence provides three options for email address privacy which can be configured by a Confluence administrator from the Administration Console:

  • 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.

  • Only visible to site administrators: only Confluence administrators can see the email addresses. Note that, if you select this option, email addresses will not be available in the 'User Search' popup (e.g. when setting Page Restrictions).

To configure user email visibility,

  1. From the 'Administration Console' click 'General Configuration' in the left-hand panel.

  2. This will display the 'General Configuration' screen. Click 'Edit'.

  3. Select one of the options next to 'User email visibility': 'public', 'masked', or 'only visible to site administrators'.

  4. 'Save' your changes.
