Documentation for [Confluence Cloud] and the latest Confluence Server is available too.

Every space has its own independent set of permissions.

Space permissions can only be granted by a space administrator. A space administrator has permission to do anything in the space regardless of any other setting.

Permissions can be assigned to any Confluence user-group, to an individual user in the Confluence-User group, and to users in the Anonymous group.

Here are the different permissions that can be assigned at the space level:

  • View: user can view this space's content, including the space's details, and its pages and news items (blog posts)

  • Pages:
    o Create - user may create and edit pages in this space.
    o Export - user may export pages in this space.
    o Restrict - user may apply page level permissions.
    o Remove - user may remove pages in this space.

  • News (i.e. blog posts):
    o Create - user may post news items in this space.
    o Remove - user may remove news items in this space.

  • Comments:
    o Create - user may make comments in this space.
    o Remove - user may remove comments from this space.

  • Attachments:
    o Create - user may add attachments in this space.
    o Remove - user may remove attachm\ents from this space.

  • Mail:
    o Remove - user may delete individual mail items.

  • Space:
    o Export - user may export content from this space.
    o Admin - user has administrative permissions over this space.

Warning

If you misconfigure a space so that nobody has access to administer it any more, you will need to have someone in the confluence-administrators group fix the permissions for you.
