How to configure confluence to delete permissions when user is deactivated

[Hari Krishna]

Hii @Assem E ,

Confluence doesn't automatically remove permissions when a user is deactivated. Even if the user is disabled or removed from the directory, their space-level and page-level permissions may still exist.

 What you can do:

Manually go to each space → Space Settings → Permissions → and remove inactive users (they appear greyed out).

If you're using ScriptRunner (on Data Center), you can run a script to automatically scan and remove inactive users from space permissions.

For Cloud, there's no native automation, but you can use APIs or marketplace apps to audit and clean up.
