During Migration phase, users should not be able to login

[Michael Beneke]

Dear community,

we want to migrate our confluence instance to another instance.

During the time we are working on that, we want that users cannot login.

What is the best way to do it?

We don't want to stop the pod before, cause of exports.

Thanks for input, which possibilities we have.

Kind regards

Michael

Hi, @Michael Beneke 

You can use maintenance mode. It allows login, but users can't make anything. They can only view pages.

It's located here: https://confluence.domain.com/admin/maintenance/view.action

Hello @Michael Beneke! Just writing to agree with @Evgenii and to share a couple of links with more details about this ReadOnly/Maintenance mode, where a use case is migrating. 

• How to make Confluence Read-Only
• Using Read-Only mode for site maintenance

Best of luck, and have a great day!

With friendly regards
