    • 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.

      If the users are stored in the DB, Confluence just blocks additional ones. However, if it is connected with an external repository, and the "Can Use" groups already have more members than allowed, Confluence will restrict access and editing permissions to it's content.

      What needs to be done:

      1. Inform the Admin about the situation (an email would be OK).
      2. Provide to the Admin 1 or 2 days to fix the problem.

            4. Inform users that they can edit things again.
