User/Group Space Permissions

[Andrew Corcoran]

Can space admins create groups and add users to group? I am on Confluence 6.6. If yes, how?

[Jaime Romaguera]

HI Andrew,

Space admin cannot create groups and  add users out of the box, you need to use a plugin called CSUM

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/raju.kadam.confluence.permissionmgmt/server/overview

Please note: Plug-in is not free and requires a confluence administrator to install the plug-in

Hope this helps?

Regards

Jaime

No, that's up to system admins, or your external system if you're using an external user directory.

[Andrew Corcoran]

Thanks for confirming. We just upgraded and noticed this. Do you know why this change was made?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Er, it has not changed, space admins have never been able to add users or groups.

[Andrew Corcoran]

A space admin could go to Space Tools / Manage Users Groups, from there, they could create and then add users to that group. Perhaps this was an add-on?

Thanks Jaime. This is not what we used before. Here is how we did it - https://vimeo.com/93262181  Are you sure this was never an OOTB capability?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Yep, certain.  The "manage users" tab you click on is created by an add-on.  It's impossible to say which one, there are a few that add things like that.

[Jaime Romaguera]

Yes, I can confirm this was never an OOTB feature. I believe that is the same plug-in we used but it was free on Confluence prior version 6.0.1

[Andrew Corcoran]

OK, thanks again
