This page last changed on Sep 05, 2011 by pwatson.
The administrator contact page is a form that allows a user of Confluence to send a message to the administrators of their Confluence site. (In this context, administrators are those users who are members of the 'confluence-administrators' group. See the explanation of site administrators.) The title of the administrator contact page is 'Contact Site Administrators'. Typically, Confluence users may get to this page by clicking a link on an error screen such as the '500 error' page. On this page: Customising the Administrator Contact MessageYou can customise the message that is presented to the user on the 'Contact Site Administrators' page.

You can only disable the form if you first provide a 'Custom Contact Administrators Message' as described above. To enable or disable the administrator contact form:
