User directory Confluence

[Patrik Ytterström]

Our company is using Crowd as a user directory for Confluence but we have some old users that belongs to the internal directory. How to filter out which users that belongs to the Confluence Internal Directory in some simple way ?
In Jira you can just choose what directory to list from but in Confluence I dont find anything except look up against the database.

Hello there Patrik!

Your Crowd interface should have filters that allow this type of selection. Here is what I see within my Crowd instance when I go Users > Search Users:

Could you clarify if you have this showing up for you, Patrik?

Furhter, could you clarify:

1. Which version of Crowd are you using?
2. Has this worked at some point?
3. Is there any error on screen when you try to filter

However, if the management must be done only via Confluence, you can try and check the user profile itself and this information should be displayed there as well:

Filtering the users, however, is not a feature that is implemented within Confluence. What you could do is filter the users based on a group that is present solely in one of the directories that you need to filter to. This group must be "global", though. This will ensure that every user located on that directory will be present within that group.

This solution is not really ideal, as it created overhead to group management.

Let us hear from you Patrik!
