Displaying user's Inactiveness info in Jira and Confluence
Asked by Karol ?piechowicz:

If a user is inactive in Jira his name is displayed like this: "Name Surname (Inactive)". In Confluence we don't get this kind of info and user is displayed normally: "Name Surname".

What can we do to have the same feature in Confluence as in Jira?

Confluence also displays the user as disabled.

Best!

body: Can you give me an example? In Jira it it displayed like this:

<br />

in Confluence it is not...


author: Moses Thomas
body: [@Karol ?piechowicz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1860357)Login as confluence admin, go to admin button \> user management \> List Users

if user is deactivated you will see it like this

author: Karol ?piechowicz
body: Hmmm I got feedback from one ouf our specialists:  

"Yeah that happens if I go into User Management, but it doesn't pull through into Confluence to show them as disabled."


author: Moses Thomas
body: [@Karol ?piechowicz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1860357)Confluence is different from Jira, if user is disable, you can't even see user to grant permission in space, what exactly do you hope to achieve ?


author: Karol ?piechowicz
body: Basically, when user appears on different Confluence Pages, for example:  
- under page title we have:

* Created by Karol Spiechowicz on 2018-05-18

and I'd like it to be displayed as:

* Created by Karol Spiechowicz (inactive) on 2018-05-18


author: Moses Thomas
body: [@Karol ?piechowicz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1860357)Well i think that we don't have this feature, you will have to click the user profile link and administer user \> information will be displayed that user profile is disabled.


author: Karol ?piechowicz
body: OK, I understand. Jira has something like this and we thought that Confluence has it also :)
