Feedback Policy:

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.

At the moment, when the number of users with can use permission in Confluence exceeds the user limit in the license, all users become read-only until the problem get fixed.

We could have a less disruptive approach to let licensed users work in Confluence. Two possible options are:

Only new added users over the license limit are read-only.
No users can be added (or received from an external user directory) over the license limit.

The sysadmins should receive a clear notification of this once they reach the user limit and even a warning if they are near to reach it (i.e.: 90% total user capacity).
