Confluence Docs 3.0 : Setting up your Personal Space This page last changed on Aug 11, 2009 by ggaskell. Not applicable to Confluence Hosted for Small Business This page does not apply if you are using Confluence Hosted for Small Business. Read more about comparing the Confluence editions. Your personal space is a place where you can publish your own pages and news items. Once you have set up your personal space, Confluence users can reach it by clicking your name in the People Directory. ## Creating your personal space To set up your personal space, you require the 'Personal Space' permission which is assigned by a Confluence administrator from the Administration Console. Refer to the Security Overview and Global Permissions Overview topics or contact a Confluence administrator for more information. To create your personal space, Go to your name at the top of the page. (This is the 'User' menu. A dropdown list will appear when your cursor hovers over the 'User' menu.) Select 'Create Personal Space' from the dropdown list. The 'Create Personal Space' view will open. Enter a few details about your space: Choose who can view content. Choose who can contribute (create and edit) content. Choose the Theme (look and feel) for your personal space. Click the 'Create' button. The 'Home' page for your new space is displayed. Note: Your home page will automatically contain any default space content as defined by your Confluence administrator.
| Handy Hint Once you have set up your personal space, you can return to it any time by clicking your name (next to the word 'Welcome' at the top of the page).
## Adding and changing content in your space Now you can start adding pages to your personal space. You may also want to upload your photo. ## Granting access to your space When you created the space (see above), you made some preliminary decisions about who can view and contribute content to your space. You can change the permissions on your space at any time. ##### RELATED TOPICS Working with Spaces Overview Converting a Global Space to a Personal Space User Profile Overview Linking to Personal Spaces and User Profiles Take me back to Confluence User Guide Attachments: create-personal-space.png (image/png) create-personal-space.png (image/png) create-personal-space.png (image/png)
