This page last changed on Dec 18, 2007 by smaddox.
There are three levels of permissions in Confluence. Levels of PermissionGlobal PermissionsGlobal permissions are site-wide permissions, and are assigned by administrators. Confluence allows two levels of administrator permissions :
Users with 'System Administrator' or 'Confluence Administrator' permission can assign permissions to other users. For full details, please refer to the overview of global permissions in the Administrator's Guide. Space PermissionsThe permission to create a new space or to administer one is granted by a Confluence Administrator from the global Administration Console. Every space has its own independent set of permissions. These permissions determine the access settings for different users of the space. In order to assign these permissions to other users, a user must be a space administrator i.e. must have the 'Admin' permission for that space. See Users and Groups to learn how these permissions are assigned. Page RestrictionsYou can set page-level restrictions, if you have the 'Restrict Pages' permission within the space concerned. Page restrictions allow you to control who can view or edit individual pages. To set page restrictions, edit the page and use the page restriction options below the text-entry box.
More InformationHow do space permissions and page restrictions work together?Example: In the HR (Human Resources) space, everyone in the organisation has the 'View' space permission, but only the HR team has the 'Pages --> Create' space permission (i.e. the ability to create and edit pages in the space). A member of the HR team starts to create a new page called 'Annual Leave Policy'. Because the page is not yet finished, she sets the 'Viewing' page restriction so that only the HR team can view the page. When the page is finished, she will remove the 'Viewing' restriction so that everyone in the company can see the page. How do space permissions and page restrictions affect links?Space permissions and page restrictions affect how links between pages are displayed to a visitor:
