    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

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

      A customer would like the ability to change/set user profile pictures from the Admin Console. They really would rather not bother current users with the manual task of configuring their profile pictures and they want every user to use a set of professional photographs. Having this sort of functionality would really help them in rolling out a professional looking instance of Confluence.

      Atlassian Update - January 2019

      Hi all,

      Thanks for all your interest in this suggestion.

      While we fully understand the need for administrators to update users’ profile pictures, this is not currently on our roadmap.

      We have however recently introduced a number of improvements to how administrators are able to manage users. These include the ability to delete users’ accounts and the ability to delete just a user’s profile picture, both which help you to meet GDPR requirements. For more information on these, check out our Confluence Server 6.13 and Confluence Server 6.14 release notes.

      We’ll update this issue when we have more information available on this request.

      Best
      Jenny Millman - Product Manager, Confluence Server

            I have a workaround to change the profile picture as an admin.

            As an admin, you need to be a member of the Confluence group ‘confluence-administrators.’ Then, you can go to user management, search for the user whose profile picture you want to change, and click on ‘Switch User’ on the right.

            Now, you will see everything as this user. Go to Profile, and here you can change the user’s profile picture.

            Just keep voting for it and adding comments, such a trivial request and has so much value it baffles me why it cannot be implemented

            Bump. It's hard to believe Atlassian still hasn't fixed this. Such a simple change!

            This ticket is not even assigned to anyone after all these years!  What does that mean?  Nobody cares?

            I agree, Admins should be able to add user profile pictures, in Jira Cloud as well.

            Possible to push this up in priority?  I know it was not in the roadmap but that was in 2019.  We are in 2022 now.

            Vote to work this into a future release. Very basic functionality that should already be included. Thanks.
