Adding Confluence users job title via Active Directory

Question

Hi all,

Your help pls.

We're able to tag Confluence users by tagging their name preceded by '@' e.g. @Smith to then display "John Smith" for example.

However is there a way to also populate that users job title e.g. @Smith = John Smith, Office Manager? Is this possible and does Confluence need to be linked to Active Directory or are there different solutions, maybe an Addon?

Thanks in advance!

Mike

Hello Michael,

Shannon is right! User Profiles for Confluence might be the solution you are looking for. The app helps to to create powerful user profiles and synchronize with user directories. You can check out the Atlassian Marketplace to get further information: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/29106/user-profiles-for-confluence?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview

Hello Michael,

This is not possible in Confluence, and there was a feature request for retrieving further details, but it's not being considered at this time.

* CONFSERVER-7426 Support retrieval of user metadata from LDAP

The following add-ons might be able to help you with this:

* Active Directory Attributes Sync
* User Profiles for Confluence

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Regards,

Shannon
