In Confluence, you can control who has permission to view or edit pages. For example, you can have some pages in your Confluence space visible to the entire world, while others are visible only by a few coworkers or collaborators. Or you could have pages visible to everyone on campus, but only editable by you and one other coworker.
Here's a short video that explains how to use page restrictions for establishing visibility and editing rights on pages within your space:
Some things to bear in mind, concerning page restrictions:
- Visibility rights for whole spaces are set by administrators. If you’d like to limit or open the visibility of a space you manage, you can contact your Confluence Administrator.
- You can access the restrictions tool by clicking "Tools" on the right side of the screen, and choosing "Restrictions." There is also the "restricted/unrestricted" button at the bottom of the editor screen. If you have page restrictions established, you can reopen the restrictions tool by clicking the little padlock in the page byline.
- Visibility restrictions are inheritable. If a parent page's visibility is restricted to one or more users, so too will be child pages.
- Editing restrictions are not inheritable. Even if a parent page is editable by only one user, child pages will be editable by all with access to the space, unless separate editing restrictions are established on those pages, too.
