Mention people in Confluence

Question

Hello Community Support.

Confluence is deployed for my organisation to make use of.

Nevertheless, it is possible to mention anyone (within & outside the organisation) which is something we want to avoid.

While we don't want to disable the mention feature (as we want to be able to mention internal users only), how can we prevent our users from mentioning users outside our organisations?

Thanks & Regards,

Abhi.

Hi @Abhijeet Keenoo ,

You can use this plugin to limit the @mentioning for specific groups. Users then can only @mention or search for other users in groups you configure.

That is odd. When you type the @ symbol, you get a list of all users like the below, that shows even users outside your organization? Is it possible that someone has created users for these individuals in your org?
