A way to hide Users from Confluence

Joe Caputo November 9, 2011

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to stop Confluence from users appearing in search results. In our instance of Confluence, we want to hide users because their user name is actually their email address and we don't want to be showing their user name for this reason. It would be nice if we could exclude users from the index as well. Does anybody know what I would need to do here to accomplish here?

NB: the user directory can be hidden, by removing access to "Browse users and groups" in the global permissons:

FYI - the "Browse users and groups" is a functionality in Jira administration, not Confluence - at least not in the server version.  Looks like this post might be labeled wrong, as the OP mentioned Confluence but this is tagged as jira-development.

Hello,

my bad, the solution I gave is only valid for JIRA

This would be great. We have a HUGE Active Directory that we don't need to be searchable with pages. It actually makes it hard to find useful content.
