You can enable public access to your site by granting the 'Use Confluence' permission to 'Anonymous' users from the Administration Console.

This user category has been created for convenient administration of users who have not logged into the site. Permissions assigned to this group apply to all anonymous users of the site.

To enable public access to your site,

  1. Go to the 'Administration Console' and click 'Global Permissions' in the left panel.

  2. Click 'Edit Permissions'.

  3. Under 'Anonymous Access' check 'Can Use' Confluence.

(info) Once you grant this permission, further permissions can be granted from the space administration screens to control the viewing and editing privileges of anonymous users. See Space Permissions Overview.


To turn off "Anonymous Access", uncheck the "Can Use" option.
