Setting Space Permissions


If you are a Confluence space admin you can set the permissions for your space.

  1. Go to the space and choose "Space Tools" and then "Permissions" from the bottom of the sidebar on the lower left.



  2. Choose "Edit Permissions"


The Edit Space Permissions page is divided into the following sections:



Assign space permissions

To add a new user or group to the permissions list, search for either a group or user in their respective sections and choose Add. The group or user will appear in the list of groups; select the appropriate checkboxes to assign them permissions, then choose Save all.

You can use an asterisk '*' as a wildcard if you need to.

If you don't find a specific user by searching, enter their username and hit "Enter." This will add them even if the Confluence search didn't find them.

To bulk assign or revoke permissions, choose either Select All or Deselect All.


Remove space permissions

To remove a user or group from the space permissions list, deselect all the checkboxes for that user or group and save the changes. The user or group won't appear in the list once you save.


Anonymous users

Anonymous users are users that aren't signed in to your Confluence site, and, by default, they won't have access to any of your content. If you want to grant access to a space for anonymous users, you can edit the 'Anonymous Access' section at the bottom of the permissions page.

Tick or un-tick the checkboxes to suit your preference for anonymous users, then choose Save All to apply the changes.
