Page permissions allow you to control who can view or edit individual pages. Page permissions are set when editing a page from menus below the text-entry box. A user can restrict the viewing or editing of a page either to themselves, or to any group to which they belong. See Users and Groups for more information. In order to set or modify page permissions, a user needs to have 'Restrict Pages' permission in the space to which the page belongs, and permission to edit the page itself. So if a user is restricted from editing a page through page permissions, they are also restricted from changing the permissions themselves.
Permissions and Child Pages If a page has its 'View' permission restricted, that restriction will be inherited by all its children (and their children, and so on). If a 'View' permission is added to a page that has already inherited page permissions from its parent, users must satisfy both permissions in order to see the page. 'Edit' restrictions are not inherited. Here's an example: Consider the page 'Documents', with a child page 'Executive', which itself has a child page 'Payroll'. To begin with, anyone who can view the space to which these pages belong can see all three pages. For security reasons, page permissions are set on the 'Executive' page, restricting it to the 'mycompany-management group'. At this point, anyone can still see the 'Documents' page, but you must be in the 'mycompany-management group' in order to view either 'Executive' or 'Payroll'. Since 'Payroll' information is considered particularly private, the 'Payroll' page then has its page permissions set to only allow members of the 'mycompany-financial' group to view it. At this point, anyone can see the 'Documents' page, only members of 'mycompany-management' can see 'Executive', and only users who are members of both the 'mycompany-management' and 'mycompany-financial' groups can view 'Payroll'.

Page-level permissioning does not restrict the viewing and editing access of space administrators. A space administrator has permission to do anything in the space regardless of any other setting. A space administrator can also remove page permissions from the space administrative interface.
