In Confluence pages and other content are stored in spaces. There are two main types of spaces - site spaces and personal spaces. Your Confluence site can contain many site spaces, and each user can have one personal space. 

To create a site space you need the 'Create Space' global permission.

To create a personal space you need the 'Personal Space' global permission. 

To create a space:

  1. Choose Create Space on the dashboard or from the space directory.
  2. Choose the type of space you would like to create then choose Next.
  3. Enter details of your space including Name, Space Key, and set any permissions - the wizard will prompt you.
  4. Choose Create.

Once your new space has been created you will be taken to the space homepage, which will be customised depending on the type of space you selected.

You can now start creating content to your space.

Choosing a space key

The space key is the unique identifier for your space and is used in URLs and macros. Your space key must be unique, can contain any alphanumeric character (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), and be up to 255 characters long. Personal spaces use your username as the space key.

You cannot change the space key after your space has been created, so choose your space key carefully. 

Space permissions

Spaces are created with a set of default permissions. The user who created a site space is automatically granted 'space admin' permissions for that space. They can then grant permissions to other users and groups. See Space Administrators and their Permissions for more information.

Note: System Administrators can edit the permissions of spaces in their Confluence site at any time.
