Space permissions can be assigned across user-groups or to individual users of Confluence.

You need to be a space administrator to assign space permissions.

To assign space permissions,

  1. Click on the 'Browse Space' link for that space. This is located at the top of every page and beside the space link on the dashboard.

  2. Go to the tab 'Space Admin'. This tab is only displayed if you are a space administrator.

  3. Click on the 'Permissions' link in the left panel under the heading 'Security'. This will display the space's current permissions assigned to the different groups and users.

  4. Click 'Edit permissions'. This will bring up a new screen. See screenshot.
    This screen is divided into three headings:

    • Groups : Select the group to which you want to assign permissions from the drop down menu. All current groups on the site will be available in the drop down list. To add a new group, click 'Add Group'.

      To assign permissions, check the box beside each of the desired permissions.

    • Individual users : Select an individual user to whom you want to assign permissions by clicking the 'browse' icon and selecting the user from the displayed list.
      • Click 'Add' to add the user.
      • Check the boxes for the permissions you wish to assign this user.

    • Anonymous users : Check the boxes for the permissions you wish to assign to all anonymous users of the site.

  5. Click 'Save All' to apply the permissions.
