Confluence Docs 3.0 : Searching For and Managing Users This page last changed on Dec 02, 2008 by smaddox. If you are a Confluence Administrator, you can add users, assign them to groups and edit their user details. On this page: Accessing the User Management Screen Listing All Users Using the Simple User Search Using the Advanced User Search ## Accessing the User Management Screen To search for and manage users, 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 'Manage Users' in the left-hand panel. The 'Manage Users' screen appears, as shown below. You can now choose to list all users or you can search for a specific user. Screenshot: Manage users ## Listing All Users To list all users, Open the 'Manage Users' screen as described above. Click the 'Show all users' link. All members of the confluence-users group are listed in alphabetical order, by username. If there are more users than can fit on one page, the results will be divided into multiple pages. To move to another page of results, click the numbered links, 'Next' or 'Previous' near the top or bottom of the page. To specify how many results should be shown per page, click a number '10', '20', '50' or '100' near the top of the page. Screenshot: List all users ## Using the Simple User Search
| Crowd and the User Search If you are using Atlassian's Crowd for user management, you will need Crowd 1.5.1 or later to use the 'Simple' option in the user search. If your version of Crowd does not support the simple user search, you will see only the 'Advanced' search form.
To search for a specific user via the simple user search, Open the 'Manage Users' screen as described above. If the 'Simple' link is showing, click it. (If you see the 'Advanced' link and no 'Simple' link, then you're fine. The simple search is already active.) The simple user search screen will appear, as shown below. Type some information about the user into the 'Search' textbox. You can type all or part of their username, full name or email address. Click the 'Search' button. Confluence will display a list of matching users. Click the link on a username to see and edit the details for that user. Screenshot: Simple user search ## Using the Advanced User Search The advanced user search allows you to specify the field in which your search term appears, i.e. username, full name or email address. You may find this useful if you need to limit the number of users appearing in the search results. To search via the advanced user search, Open the 'Manage Users' screen as described above. If the 'Advanced' link is showing, click it. (If you see the 'Simple' link and no 'Advanced' link, then you're fine. The advanced search is already active.) The advanced user search screen will appear, as shown below. Complete one or more of the following fields: User Name — Enter all or part of the person's username i.e. their login id, e.g. 'joe', or 'bloggs'. Full Name — Enter all or part of the person's name, e.g. 'joe bloggs', or 'bloggs', or 'joe'. E-Mail — Enter all or part of the person's email address, e.g. 'acme' Click the 'Search' button. Confluence will display a list of matching users. Click the link on a username to see and edit the details for that user. Screenshot: Advanced user search ##### RELATED TOPICS
