Confluence Plugins displaying in Individual Users Permission screen

Terri Yeago_5h73jk

Why does the plugins I have on the Confluence Cloud instance show up under Individual Users in Permissions? Can I remove them without affecting their function in Confluence?

Here are the add-ons that are listed:

Copy Space for Confluence (addon_ac-copy-space)

Questions for Confluence (addon_com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-questions)

AnnouncerC (addon_com.wittified.atl-announcer-confluence)

Chat Notifications (addon_confluence-chats-integration)

Hi,

When you install an app on Confluence Cloud you will get the "requested scopes" prompted. These define with which privileges the app can act on your system e.g. read / write / admin. Therefore the cloud app will act as the corresponding addon_ user.

As soon as you remove these users from a space their functionality won't work correctly anymore. E.g. menu entries etc still showing up, but actions executed might fail.

This is also true if you use apps which need to access pages however these pages have view / edit restrictions which do not allow the app to execute its actions.

 So the short answers is "No" you should not remove these users if not required.

Best, Tobias
