Confluence 2.6 : Global Permissions Overview
This page last changed on Sep 21, 2007 by smaddox.
Permissions determine the actions which a user is allowed to perform within Confluence. Global permissions are one of the levels of permission provided by Confluence. Global permissions control access across the whole Confluence site as follows :
Global Permissions are granted in the Global Permissions section of the Administration Console. In order to assign these permissions, a user must already have the global 'Administer Confluence' permission. Site administrators can assign global permissions to groups, individual users, and anonymous users. Further permissions are granted from the space administration screens. Note about 'Administer Confluence' permissionGranting a user 'Administer Confluence' permission will not automatically grant her access to all spaces in the site. It will only grant the user access to the Administration Console. Automatically being an administrator of all spaces is only available to the special 'confluence-administrators' group (internally called the superuser group). There is an outstanding enhancement request to replace the superuser group with something better. Be aware, however, that users with 'administer' permission must still be trusted. They have access to modify users and groups in Confluence, so can always add themselves to the 'confluence-administrators' group and become a superuser. RELATED TOPICS |
