Ready for Confluence roles? Help us make your transition to role-based access easy

[#1]

Hi Confluence Admins,

We want to talk to you! As we move to role-based access control in Confluence, we want your input to help us build the best tools for assigning roles across your site.

I’m Marie, Confluence Permissions PM. In case you missed it, Confluence is transitioning to a role-based access model (currently in Beta) where you assign roles instead of individual permissions for managing space access. As we move into this next phase, we want your feedback to help shape the experience for assigning roles to all users across your site. We're evaluating tools to make this transition smoother and more effective, and need your input.

How you can help

We’re looking for 6-8 customers to participate in 1-hour sessions with our product and design team. In these sessions, we’ll walk through some key concepts we are exploring and hope to gain a clear understanding of:

• How are your sites and spaces currently set up?

• How would you go about defining what custom roles you need? Do you need any tools to help you decide this?

• How would you want to go about planning your sites' transitions? What do you think you’d need to do this?

• How would you want to approach assigning roles to all users in your site?

  • What would a tool that helped you do that look like?

  • Do you think about this through a spaces lens, where you choose a selection of spaces and action those, or a permissions lens, where you choose a combination of permissions and assign a role to all users across your site who hold that exact combo?

For those who can’t join a live session, feel free to provide your input in the comments below. 

Thanks!
Marie

Great to see that Confluence is transitioning to a role-based permission model. A short (but important remark from my side): please don't forget developers, and include API access to that new role-based model, too.

Hey, 

I hope to be able to provide some practical insights - I've signed up for a session :)
