Summary


The Network Overview allows you to Create a network of users who are important to you, to make sure you're always up-to-date with their Confluence activity. You might want to follow your boss or teammates, to see what they're working on, or whoever creates the most entertaining blog posts. If you need to disable the Network tab from user profiles menu you may do so by using JavaScript.

Solution

  1. Navigate to Confluence Administration page >> Custom HTML.
  2. Click Edit.

   AJS.$( "#user-menu-link-user-content a:contains('Network')" ).parent('li').hide();
 });
</script>
