Hide other users for logged in users in Confluence

[williamdavidedwards]

By default, when someone logs in on Confluence, they can see all other users on that same Confluence instance on 'browsepeople.action'. However, these other users are customers of ours, and so we want to remove the ability for other users to see their profiles, etc.

Where do I tell Confluence to not show other users on the same instance to other, unprivileged users?
For the record, we use Active Directory (LDAP) as user directory.

If you are using the server version, there are some documented approaches, such as:

• https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/hiding-the-people-directory-196816.html
• https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-restrict-users-from-accessing-people-directory-or-search-users-from-quick-search-688883545.html

It is not possible in Cloud.

I never saw the 'Users' page documented as 'People Directory', so I never got a hit when searching. This does seem like what I'm after. Thanks!

For the cloud has this changed?
Is there a way we can hide users from other users?
(We also want to use this for our customers but if they can see each other, then we will not be emigrating to the cloud. Seems like Atlassian have shot themselves in the foot in this one).
