Is there a way to use CQL to find inactiveUsers(), similar to Jiras JQL?

Within Jira JQL you can identify inactive users using a query like
assignee in inactiveUsers()
Then using automation set assignee to unassigned for those users who have left the business

I would like to be able to do the same in confluence CQL but none of the following work
creator in inactiveUsers()
creator in (inactiveUsers() )
owner in inactiveUsers()
owner in (inactiveUsers() )
owner in ("Deactivated", "Former user", "Unlicensed")

This way I can use automation to reassign pages with owners who have left, to new owners

 

I currently have automation set up, that when a page is edited and the current page owner is shown as either Deactivated, Former user or Unlicensed, the person who edited the page becomes the new page owner.

But with thousands of users, pages, etc this is just a drop in the ocean of page owners who have left.

Hi @Mark J Cunningham!  It is my understanding that a bulk change option is not currently available but is something the Atlassian team is aware of and working on (though I didn't see it on the Confluence Cloud roadmap).

Perhaps @Tiffany Chung can provide more information?  Or you might also have a look at the Comments section of this article as some users have suggested add-ons that apparently provide this functionality.  HTH
