It would be good to have an option to disable the People Directory section in the Browse menu of the Dashboard page.

Ideally, you might want to try the manual workaround below to remove the text from the "Browse" menu:
  1. Shutdown Confluence
  2. Look for global-browse-sections.xml.
  3. Comment/Remove the web-item below:
    <web-item key="global-people" name="People Directory" section="system.browse/global" weight="10">
            <label key="people.directory.title" />
            <link linkId="people-directory-link">/peopledirectory.action</link>
            <condition class="com.atlassian.confluence.plugin.descriptor.web.conditions.NotSharedModeCondition"/>
    </web-item>
    
  4. Restart Confluence

For Confluence standalone version, the global-browse-sections.xml is located in the WEB-INF\lib\confluence-2.9.jar. After making the changes to the file, you can simply place the file into the WEB-INF\classes\plugins folder. You need to create the plugins folder manually.

Why do people want to disable the people directory? Is this actually a duplicate of CONF-7837?

Perhaps our situation is unique, but we use Enterprise Hosted Confluence with anonymous access enabled, and we don't want (or need) users to see the individuals who manage the site.

It would be great if we had not merely an option to disable the link on the dashboard, but disallow anonymous access to the directory entirely. Currently with the manual work-around the actual directory is still searchable/viewable. Hiding the information is much more important to us than the link (though that would be nice too). We want to keep the wiki open to anonymous users so that they can get a sense of what it is before they sign up.
