Displaying user's Inactiveness info in Jira and Confluence

[Karol Śpiechowicz]

If a user is inactive in Jira his name is displayed like this: "Name Surname (Inactive)". In Confluence we don't get this kind of info and user is displayed normally: "Name Surname".

What can we do to have the same feature in Confluence as in Jira?

Hello @Karol Śpiechowicz

Confluence also displays the user as disabled.

@Karol ŚpiechowiczWe have  '"disabled" in  confluence is this not enough ?

Best!

[Karol Śpiechowicz]

Is this info displayed next to user's name?

[Moses Thomas]

@Karol ŚpiechowiczYes

[Karol Śpiechowicz]

Can you give me an example? In Jira it it displayed like this:



in Confluence it is not...

[Moses Thomas]

@Karol ŚpiechowiczLogin as confluence admin,  go to  admin button > user management > List Users

if user is deactivated you  will  see it like this

Best!

[Karol Śpiechowicz]

Hmmm I got feedback from one ouf our specialists:

"Yeah that happens if I go into User Management, but it doesn't pull through into Confluence to show them as disabled."

[Moses Thomas]

@Karol ŚpiechowiczConfluence is  different from Jira, if user is disable, you can't even  see user to grant permission in  space, what  exactly do  you hope to  achieve ?

[Karol Śpiechowicz]

Basically, when user appears on different Confluence Pages, for example:
- under page title we have:

• Created by Karol Spiechowicz on 2018-05-18

and I'd like it to be displayed as:

• Created by Karol Spiechowicz (inactive) on 2018-05-18

[Moses Thomas]

@Karol ŚpiechowiczWell i think that  we don't have this  feature, you will have to  click the user profile link  and  administer user >  information will be displayed that user profile  is disabled.

OK, I understand. Jira has something like this and we thought that Confluence has it also :)
