_Permissions_DefaultGroups

The two default groups in Confluence are:

• confluence-users - this is the default group into which all new users are usually assigned. In most sites this is the group that provides the permission to log in to Confluence.
• confluence-administrators – this super group grants the highest level of administrator permissions. Members of this can view all pages, including restricted pages. While they can't edit existing pages, they can add, delete, comment, restore page history, and administer the space. They can also access the admin console and perform all administrative tasks.
