User Anonymization is done by removing all references to a Confluence user and replace them with a new anonymous technical user.

You should first create an anonymous technical user in your own Confluence instance. Then you can use our "User Anonymizer for Confluence" app to change the references of a user to your new anonymous user. Optionally, you may delete the user or remove the user from an external user directory sync after the anonymization process, depending on your requirements.
