Giovanni Cardillo
Giovanni Cardillo February 5, 2024

Hello,

I'm trying to add a Confluence Group to an User, but the operation fails.

Screenshot 2024-02-05 11.13.12.png

The following error(s) occurred:

Could not add user 'a.cosimato' as a member of group 'PRODE'. Check your server logs for more information.

The user was already present in the Internal User Directory and both as a Confluence and a Jira user. 

I checked the logs and this is what:

Hi Giovanni

I'm not sure the log you have appended is related to the user issue.

Are you using Jira as a user directory for Confluence?

The error you are getting on the first screenshot, is usually thrown when a user is from another directory and isn't allowed to be edited from Confluence.

If you go the user from the user page in the administration panel, you can see if the user is read-only and which Directory its from.

Hi @Manne Kjærby - ProProces ,

really I don't remember if it worked one year ago, because a few later we migrated to Atlassian Cloud where there was no problem like this.

Thanks for your help and my apologies for the late answer :-)
