The People Directory provides a list of all users in your Confluence system.

If you need to disable the People Directory set the following system properties on your application server command line:

 -Dconfluence.disable.peopledirectory.anonymous=true
  • To disable the People Directory entirely,
-Dconfluence.disable.peopledirectory.all=true

To remove the link on the dashboard:

This only applies to Confluence 2.5.2 to 2.9.x. Confluence 2.10.x or later only needs to configure system properties using the above.
Edit the <confluence-install>/confluence/decorators/global.vmd:
Comment out line 37:
