Confluence 5.4 has reached end of life
Check out the [latest version] of the documentation
This page gives an overview of the administration functions available in site and personal spaces. You need to be a space administrator to perform space administration functions.

Administering a space that uses the Documentation theme
In this theme the standard Confluence sidebar is replaced by a page navigation sidebar. As a result the layout of the space administration options are slightly different.
To view the space admin page:
- Go to the space you wish to manage.
- Choose Browse > Space Admin at the top of the screen.
Note: The 'Space Admin' option appears only if you are a space administrator for the space or you are a super user (a member of theconfluence-administrators
group). - The 'Space Details' page displays.
For spaces using the Documentation theme, the administration options are divided into the following categories:
- General
- Space Details – see Editing Space Details.
- Space Labels – see Using Labels to Categorise Spaces.
- Templates – see Working with Templates.
- Delete Space – see Deleting a Space.
- Trash – see Purging Deleted Pages and Restoring a Deleted Page.
- Security
- Permissions – see Assigning Space Permissions.
- Restricted Pages – see Page Restrictions.
- Application Links – see Linking to Another Application.
