Add or remove page restrictions

Even in a shared space, you may have a page or blog that you're not ready to share with everyone yet. Or perhaps you have some confidential content that's only meant for a few eyes. Whatever the reason, Confluence lets you set view and edit restrictions at the page level, so you can keep your content as open or closed as you need.

Permissions and restrictions aren't customizable on the free plan.

How do permissions all fit together?
Every organization has different needs, so Confluence lets you customize permissions at the site, space, and page level so that they're just right for you.

Here's a quick rundown of how it all works:

Open by default: Confluence is open by default, so it won't have any restrictions unless you add them.

Global: Your site admin sets this. Global permissions choose what a person can do on your entire site, but only deal with site level actions like whether you can create a space.

Space: Set by the space admin, this decides what each user can do in that space.

Page: Anyone with space level permission to edit page restrictions can change access to pages.

Space permissions are granted at the space level, whereas page restrictions are designed to further restrict space permissions. If there are no page restrictions on a page but someone still can't view or edit it, it's likely because they don't have the necessary space permissions.

Change who can view or edit a page
Confluence has an open by default permissions ecosystem. This means that whenever you publish a page (assuming you haven't changed any of the default settings), it will be accessible by the maximum audience possible on Confluence. You can change this in your page's Restrictions window. To open this window, click the lock icon () at the top of any page.

The Overview page in your space will not have a lock icon. To access the restrictions window for your Overview page, select the More actions menu () -) Restrictions.
