Summary

In this chapter we have learned how we can add users to our Confluence installation. There are many options available, such as manually adding users, inviting users to sign up themselves, or having an open registration for users.

We have seen that if your company already has a user management system in place, Confluence can easily make use of that, either fully delegating authentication and authorization, or just partially.

Now that we have a running Confluence installation and have invited some users to use it, we are off to one of the most important parts of Confluence, creating content. In the next chapter we will go into how we can create engaging content with the Confluence editor.
