I deleted the original Admin user in Confluence

Emiliano Kamppeter February 20, 2014

and now I can't edit the AD User Directory. I can only test and synchronise...

What can I do to overcome this?

Thanks!

Emiliano,
In Confluence you should be able to edit the User Directories. You might want to double check if you belong to the confluence-administrators group, which is Confluence's default group for admin powers.

Hi,

well, I do have an admin user. I can also log in to the admin part. What I can not do is edit the "User Direcotries" Active Directory setup I created with the deleted admin user.

Any ideas how to get these rights back?

Thanks!

Hi,

You may be able to identify and create a new admin by following the steps provided in our documentation:
