Adding Confluence users job title via Active Directory

[Michael Sefain]

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,

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
