    • 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

      Workaround

      According to Remote Confluence methods:

      The XML-RPC and SOAP APIs are deprecated since Confluence 5.5.
      Confluence has a new REST API that is progressively replacing our existing APIs. We recommend plugin developers use the new REST APIs where possible.

      While there isn't a REST API replacement for the addProfilePicture method, it may be possible to use it via the old XML-RPC and SOAP APIs on newer versions of Confluence. However, as these APIs are deprecated, they may be removed in future versions of Confluence.
