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. Go to the Confluence 'Administration Console'. To do this:

    • Open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Confluence Admin'. The 'Administrator Access' login screen will be displayed.
    • Enter your password and click 'Confirm'. You will be temporarily logged into a secure session to access the 'Administration Console'.
  2. Select 'Security Configuration' in the left-hand panel. The 'Security Configuration' screen will be displayed.
  3. Click 'Edit'. The fields on the 'Security Configuration' screen will be editable.
  4. Select one of the options from the 'User email visibility' dropdown: 'public', 'masked', or 'only visible to site administrators'.
  5. Click the 'Save' button.
