I cannot add user in Admin Users page
Asked by jongwon choi:

Hello, I'm confluence starter kit user. (version #4.3.7)

One year before I bought 3 years confluence license.

This system has now 6 users, and I want to add one more user.

But in Administration \> Users (in Users \& Security menu) page, I cannot find any add user button or link.

As I remember, there was a add user button in this page, and I have 4 more quota(users) for this starter kit.

How can I add new user in this confluence system?

delete the if block (canAddUsers variable check) at line 27.

It must be a bug....

But... the case in the page is not the same problem of mine.

In the linked page, the problem comes when admin add user to specific group.

In my case, I cannot see the 'Add Users' tab or 'Invite Users' tab in Users administration page,

as if I have no privileges to add user to this confluence server.

I had seen the page before (maybe...) when I use trail version of confluence.

If I'm right, after the trial version end up the licensed period, the Users administration page hide the Add Users and Invite Users tab. So I had to update the trial license.

It was too boring job for me, so I bought the license for 3 years.

And I got the same kind of page (cannot do any action to add user).

After Re-Install my confluence(the same version number of previouse confl.), I found that the Server ID changed from 'blabla-blabla-blabla-blabla' to 'BWRF-0QWQ-OGB7-KMUA'. (I checked it from License Details page)

So, I changed the Server ID from atlassian License management page, where I can edit the Server ID.

But the page remains same.

What can I do for adding new user ?

You might want to check the following [KB article](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Unable+to+Add+Users+into+a+Group+Due+to+Lack+of+Permission "KB article") to clarify that the issue was not caused by the lack/missing of required permission to perform user management.

Thank you

body: Yes, I know above page. (I found it from google search)

But I cannot access the page describe in the page.

I have admin privileges. but the Users page different from the page metioned in that site.

And I missed one thing in above question.

Last week, My confluence has some problem. there were many error logs in confluence.

they comes from postgre file db.

I think, some transaction missed some foriegn key or something...

So I want to migrate the data from postgre file db to mysql local db.

So I backup the data to zip file, and install confluence again, and restore the backup data.

I successfully recover eveything.

But in the Users page, I cannot access add users page, or invite page.
