Join the Transition tooling EAP: a new tool to move from custom access → roles at scale

[#1]

You’re helping us modernize permissions in Confluence with roles. Now help us with the toughest part: migrating complex, at-scale sites from custom access to roles safely and efficiently.

We’re launching an Early Access Program (EAP) for a new transition tool designed specifically for Confluence admins already participating in the roles beta. This EAP is for admins who want to stop doing this work space-by-space and manage it centrally.

If you face hundreds or even thousands of spaces and inconsistent custom permissions, this program is for you.

What you’ll get in the Transition EAP

The new transition tool lets you:

See where you stand

• Track how many custom permission combinations are left
• See what % of access is covered by roles

Move to roles in bulk

• Start from a permissions combination (e.g. “view content + add comments”)
• See where it’s used across your site
• Assign a role or remove access in bulk, across all or selected spaces

Stay in control of risk

• Get role suggestions when a combination exactly matches a role
• Customize changes by principal type (users, groups, guests, anonymous)
• Review impact before you run any bulk action (who gains/loses which permissions)
• Every bulk action is logged via audit logs

Who we’re looking for

You’re a good fit if:

• You’re already in the Confluence roles beta
• You have significant custom access still in use, and
• You’re responsible for planning or running a site‑wide transition to roles

If you’re currently using spreadsheets, scripts, or manual space‑by‑space changes, we especially want you in this program.
