Linking to Personal Spaces and User Profiles

This page describes how to add a link to a user's personal space or user profile from within another Confluence page.

You can link to a user's personal space (or user profile) easily if you know their username.

If the user does not have a personal space, then the link will go to their user profile.

Linking to a User's Personal Space using Autocompletion

You can use autocomplete to create a link to a user's personal space in the Confluence site. Trigger autocomplete and start typing their name.

You can type [ to see a list of suggested links. For details, see Using Autocomplete.

While editing the page, place your cursor at the point where you want to create the link, or highlight the text that you want linked.
Click Link in the toolbar, or press Ctrl+K. See keyboard shortcuts for more information.
Click the Search tab on the left.
Start typing the user's name into the search field. Confluence will suggest options as you type.
Select the user from the autocomplete results.
Enter link text that will be displayed on the page, if required. If you have not highlighted text in the page, and leave the 'Link Text' text box empty, the link will display the destination page name or URL.
Click Insert.
