Adding User-Directory in confluence

Question

Hello community,

I have been doing a project in which I have to install and connect Local Active Directory with confluence.

I have installed confluence and got documentation related to connecting local domain. It says to go to settings(cog icon) -> General Configuration -> On left side click "User Directories". Here I can add details of my local domain.

But in my browser, I can go to General Configuration, but there is no "User Configuration" available on left side menu bar.

Do I need to enable any settings??? or is there any pre-requisites???

Hi @Neel Himmatbhai Kheni ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

As said by @Melo it is a permission issue. There is a difference between a Confluence System Administrator and a Confluence Administartor (for more information take a look here https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/global-permissions-overview-138709.html).

You are a Confluence Administrator and, in order to setup User Directories, you need to be a Confluence system administrator.

Hi @Neel Himmatbhai Kheni, welcome to the community!

To see the user directories, you need to be a system administrator. It sounds like that's the problem.

You can read more about Confluence permissions on the link below.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
