NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.
Currently, the Confluence People Directory includes all users that once logged in to the wiki. In combination with External User Management "old" users that are no longer "active" are displayed forever.
There should be an option to only display active users that have the "Can Use" permission.

Hi richatkins , (@richatkins) as your admitted your fault in creating this (potentially unwanted) new behavior, can you please own the bug fix ticket (CONF-41178) and work on it ASAP? Currently it is classified as "Suggestion" and "Needs validatation". In my mind this needs to become a "bug" (or "Defect"), and classified "Serious" and fixed within the 5.9 and 5.10 releases. Not only 6.x.
I also want to complain that the new behavior was not mentioned in the release notes. I had raised a support ticket on this new behavior, and even the Atlassian support person was not aware of it. He had to read the code to fine out !!!
This has cost me many hours and headaches, and I almost canceled our next upgrade for this reason.
As it stands now, we cannot find thouse users anywhere in Confluence (besides of System Manangement -> Manage user) , cannot see it under "People", cannot add permissions, cannot @mention and cannot share a page to such people. This is a massive loss of functionality, therefore I call it a serious bug which was introduced here.
