Confluence Docs 3.0 : Editing User Details This page last changed on Oct 13, 2008 by smaddox. To update a user's details, 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. (This link is available in Confluence 2.8.2 and later.) Or, Go to the Confluence 'Administration Console'. To do this: Open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Confluence Admin'. The 'Administration Console' view will open. 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. 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 Groups — Add or remove this user from a group. Edit Details — Edit the user's name and email address. Changing a user's username is not supported through the application, see Changing Usernames for other solutions. Set Password — Edit the user's password details. Deactivate — Deactivation is an alternative to removing a user. It is not possible to remove a user if the user is responsible for content on the site. The reason is that Confluence will need the user information to maintain a history of the pages they have updated. In this case, you can deactivate the user so that they can no longer log in to Confluence. Remove — You can remove a user permanently if the user has not added or edited any content on the site. Deactivating users (unavailable) : This functionality was removed in Confluence 2.1.x. See Removing a User for more information. Screenshot : User Details ##### RELATED TOPICS
