When Confluence is run in a shared environment, certain changes to Confluence features have to be applied in order to guarantee privacy. To account for this, we've added a new setting in the general configuration called Shared Mode.
When should shared mode be used?
The shared mode setting should be used when Confluence is run in a shared environment where distinct groups and users share the same instance. To ensure that one party can not bring down the whole system, certain features will be disabled in a shared environment. Also to guarantee the privacy of independent groups, search and security behaviour is different in Shared Mode.
