Can not add a user
Asked by Daghan:

When trying to add a new user, I get the following error along with the java exception trace:

A system error has occurred --- our apologies!

For immediate troubleshooting, consult our knowledge base for a solution.

If you would like to receive support from Atlassian's support team, ask your Confluence administrator to create a support issue on Atlassian's support system with the following information:

a description of your problem and what you were doing at the time it occurred

a copy of the error and system information found below

a copy of the application logs (if possible).

Your Confluence administrator can use the support request form to create a support ticket which will include this information.

We will respond as promptly as possible.

Thank you!

Answers:
author: Septa Cahyadiputra
body: Hi Daghan,

As mentioned on the ticket. There is a possibility that the cause of your issue is due to a know issue which is recorded here:

* [Unable to Create New User Due to InsufficientPrivilegeException](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Unable+to+Create+New+User+Due+to+InsufficientPrivilegeException)

If the above KB is not the cause of your issue, the other possibility is cause by insufficient privilege of Confluence to write into the top directory. For example, if on your "User Directories" you configured JIRA directory to be at the top order, and you did not allow Confluence to write into it, this ERROR would come out whenever you try to add user since, Confluence would try to write it into JIRA.

This behavior is the same with the other directory for example LDAP server, Crowd.

Hope it helps.

Cheers,

Septa Cahyadiputra


author: BernardoA
body: I'd suggest you to check if your user is admin and ensure if you have confluence-users group in your instance.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: \>com.atlassian.confluence.core.InsufficientPrivilegeException: User admin does not have the required privileges

That implies you are trying to add a user from an account that can't do it. The UI won't actually let you get that far if your account doesn't have the permissions, so I suspect you are bypassing it and using something other than the UI (direct link to a create url for example).

However, there's no way of knowing without more information - you need to tell us

1. What you are doing in order to get the error
2. How you have set up your user access system (confluence off-the-shelf, reading Jira, Crowd, LDAP, something else)
3. Versions would be VERY helpful


author: Christian Czaia _Decadis AG_
body: Hi,

have you raised an issue in Atlassian support? I mean you don't provide much information (e.g. JIRA version, add a user to a group? add a new JIRA user etc.).

Cheers Christian
