The User Profile macro displays a short summary of a given Confluence user's profile. This is the same summary that appears in a Hover Profile, which appears whenever you mouse over a user's name in the Confluence interface.
Using the User Profile macro
To add the User Profile macro to a page:
- In the Confluence editor, choose
> Other Macros - Find and select the required macro
Speeding up macro entry with autocomplete:
- In the new editor - Type / and the beginning of an element (tool or things in the insert menu) to see a list of suggestions.
- In the legacy editor - Type { and the beginning of the macro name to see a list of suggested macros.
Details are in Keyboard shortcuts, markdown, and autocomplete.
To edit an existing macro
Click the macro placeholder and choose Edit. A macro dialog window will open, where you can edit the parameters of the macro.
Parameters
Parameters are options that you can set to control the content or format of the macro output. Where the parameter name used in Confluence storage format or wikimarkup is different to the label used in the macro browser, it will be listed below in brackets (example).
Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
Username | none | The username of the Confluence user whose profile summary you wish to show. |
Wiki markup example
Wiki markup is useful when you need to add a macro outside the editor, for example as custom content in the sidebar, header or footer of a space.
Macro name: profile
Macro body: None.
{profile:user=admin}
