There are a number of ways new users can be added to Confluence:

  • By public signup: If public signup is enabled on your Confluence site, people can add themselves as users of the site.
  • By Confluence administrators: Administrators with Confluence Administrator or System Administrator permissions can add new users from the Administration Console.
  • Via an external user directory: See LDAP User Management and JIRA User Management.

To add a new user to Confluence from the Administration Console,

  1. 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'.
  2. Select 'Manage Users' in the left-hand panel.
  3. Click the link 'Add User' at the top of the page.
  4. Enter the user's details: username, password, name and email address.
  5. Click 'Create'.
