A space administrator is a user with the 'Administer Space' permission for a space. This permission itself is assigned from the Space Administration screens by a space administrator.

A space administrator has permission to do anything in the space regardless of any other setting. Space administrators are responsible for the management of a space and its contents. Note that page permissions affect space administrators differently from other users.

Space administrators can:

  • view all content in the space: If there are page permissions that restrict the viewing of a page to a single user, or to a group to which the space administrator doesn't belong, a space administrator can still view the page by removing the restriction.

  • edit all content on any page in the space.

  • remove restrictions from any page in the space (by using the Space Administration interface).

  • grant themselves any other space permissions (e.g permission to set restrictions on a particular page).

All space administratiion functions are performed from the 'Space Admin' tab under the 'Browse Space' view a space. You need to be a space administrator to access the Space Administration screens.
