Allow searching for content contributed or created by disabled user

XMLWordPrintable

    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      In large organizations, people come and go. People who have left have their user IDs disabled. The search screen will not let you entry the name of a user that is disabled. This is preventing us from finding content created by people who have left the organization. This is a major problem with replacement staff who attempt to pickup from where their predecessor left off.

      As it stands now, when a user is disabled, they will not appear in the Contributor section of the search page. Since there have been previous requests to hide disabled users, it may be best to include a checkbox (or a toggle-switch) of some kind to include/exclude disabled users for the Contributor search.

            I think we can get the list of pages created by the deactivated user. This is how I was able to find. 

            Open the space, expand the 'Space contributors' list. There I could see all users who contributed, including deactivated users. Click on the names and it shows all (or most ) of the pages created by them.

            Hi,

            My company (LBAppStudio) has created a solution for Confluence Cloud to list all pages owned by deactivated users.  Please find it here:  https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1234489/reports-plus-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview. We are happy to consider any enhancement requests!

            Curious about how/when a user's license gets deactivated and whether there is a process documented anywhere? Or perhaps it's associated with their email. No rush, but if someone could let me know, I appreciate it, as always 🙂
