A group is a collection of users. Administrators create groups so that the administrator can assign permissions to a number of people at once. For example, it is quicker to give group 'X' access to Confluence, rather than giving every team member access individually.
To add a new group:
Go to the Confluence 'Administration Console'. To do this:
- Open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Confluence Admin'. The 'Administrator Access' login screen will be displayed.
- Enter your password and click 'Confirm'. You will be temporarily logged into a secure session to access the 'Administration Console'.
- Click 'Manage Groups' in the left-hand panel.
- Click 'Add Group'.
- Enter a name for your group and click 'Save'.
You are now ready to start adding users to the group.
Notes
- Multiple user directories:
You may define multiple user directories in Confluence, so that Confluence looks in more than one place for its users and groups. For example, you may use the default Confluence internal directory and also connect to an LDAP directory server. In such cases, you can define the directory order to determine where Confluence looks first when processing users and groups.
Here is a summary of how the directory order affects the processing:
- The order of the directories is the order in which they will be searched for users and groups.
- Changes to users and groups will be made only in the first directory where the application has permission to make changes.
