    Description

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

      At the present time, Confluence will not allow an administrator to edit the directory they are currently logged in from. For example, if logged into Confluence as a user from AD directory, the AD directory will not be able to be modified. Normally we recommend logging in as the local Confluence admin in order to edit other directories.

      However, when Windows authentication is enabled, only users from the Active Directory Domain can authenticate. To get around this, administrators will need to disable the authenticating method back to default restart Confluence in order to log in as the local admin. The application will require another restart to re-enable Windows authentication.

      This improvement request is to investigate if there's a better way to edit the AD directory in Confluence when Windows authentication is enabled.
