Confluence Docs 3.0 : Setting a Page's Restrictions This page last changed on Jul 06, 2009 by ggaskell. Page restrictions control who may view or edit a specific page, within the bounds of the space permissions. This gives the space administrator control over who can access their space, and within that the page editor can control access to the page. Viewing restrictions make the page invisible to everyone except the chosen users/groups. Editing restrictions prevent everyone except the chosen users/groups from editing the page. You can choose as many users/groups as you like. In order to set or modify page restrictions, you need to have the 'Restrict Pages' permission in the space to which the page belongs, as well as permission to edit the page itself. To set 'viewing' restrictions on a page, Click the 'Edit' link at the top of the page. The word 'Restrictions' will now appear at the bottom of the page (above 'Labels'). Click the 'Edit' link next to the word 'Restrictions'. A form will appear below the word 'Restrictions', as shown in the screenshot below. The option 'Restrict viewing of this page' will be selected by default. Choose the appropriate user(s) and/or group(s) who you want to allow to view the page: To choose just yourself, click 'Choose me'. To choose a particular user, you can either: If you are unsure of the user's exact name, click the 'Choose users' link to display the 'User Search' popup window. Use the search options to find the required user. Select the appropriate user(s), then click the 'Select user(s)' button. (You can read more about searching for users.) Type the user's name (or a list of names, separated by commas) into the 'Enter user/group name(s)' box, then click the 'Add' button. To choose a particular group(s), you can either: If you are unsure of the group's exact name, click the 'Choose groups' link to display the 'Group Search' popup. Type part of the name, then click the 'Search' button to display a list of matching groups, e.g. to search for groups whose names start with 'finance', type 'finance'. Select the appropriate group(s), then click the 'Select group(s)' button. Type the group name (or a list of groups, separated by commas) into the 'Enter user/group name(s)' box, then click the 'Add' button. Click the 'Save' link at the bottom of the page. Screenshot — Adding restrictions to a page To set 'editing' restrictions on a page, Click the 'Edit' link at the top of the page. The word 'Restrictions' will now appear at the bottom of the page (above 'Labels'). Click the 'Edit' link next to the word 'Restrictions'. A form will appear below the word 'Restrictions', as shown in the screenshot above. Select 'Restrict editing of this page'. Choose the appropriate user(s) and/or group(s) that you want to allow to edit the page, as described for 'viewing' restrictions above. Click the 'Save' link at the bottom of the page. ##### Checking restrictions are applied to a page When a page you are viewing has restrictions applied, a small padlock icon appears next to the page byline. Clicking the padlock will take you to the 'Information View', where full details on the page restrictions are displayed.
| Note View and edit restrictions apply to all users including space administrators. However, space administrators can remove any restriction on a page. See Viewing Restricted Pages.
