    What determines that the Permalink icon appears on a comment?

    Some Spaces have it, others don't. Does it have something to do with permissions?

      What determines that the Permalink icon appears on a comment?

      It comes together inside a VM file, comments.vmd (<Confluence_install>/confluence/decorators/components/ directory). If you want to make changes to the Permalink icon, you may want to modify the codes in there.

      Some Spaces have it, others don't. Does it have something to do with permissions?

      This can't be as Permalink is being applied globally in Confluence. I am pretty sure this has nothing got to do with the permissions. You may want to check if there is any customization that is being applied in some of your spaces.
