Is it possible to disable the mention function for specific users?

[Johannes Zimmermann]

Hey guys, 

do you know if it is possible to deactivate the @mention function for specific user groups? 
Or at least to deactivate the view of the email adress if a person is mentioning another person? I don't want that everybody who can mention someone can also view their UPN or e-mail adress.

Confluence version 7.4.0

Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi @Johannes Zimmermann ,

I think this is not feasible, it depends on the global configuration. So you can only enable or disable this feature for all users.

Hi @Johannes Zimmermann ,

You can use this plugin to limit the @mentioning for specific groups. Users then can only @mention or search for other users in groups you configure

Be aware that disabling at mentions globally will also disable other plugins in Confluence:
