How to Prevent Users from Changing Profile Pictures in Confluence 5.5.x versions
Platform Notice: Data Center Only - This article only applies to Atlassian products on the Data Center platform.
Note that this KB was created for the Data Center version of the product. Data Center KBs for non-Data-Center-specific features may also work for Server versions of the product, however they have not been tested. Support for Server* products ended on February 15th 2024. If you are running a Server product, you can visit the Atlassian Server end of support announcement to review your migration options.
*Except Fisheye and Crucible
In some cases, an organization may need to allow only the administrators to change the users' profile pictures for security reasons. In this article, we will describe how to hide the ability to edit profile pictures.
Please bear in mind that according to our Support Offerings, Atlassian doesn't provide support for customisations. This test was performed in a Confluence 5.5.2 version.
