We recently had a user who tried to move a page with a large number of child pages, during business hours. This took a while and Confluence can sometimes not handle that delay very well, so the user thought the move had not worked and tried 3 times in a row, causing a Java out of memory problem and the site to crash.
This was all fixed after a service restart, but the half an hour outage was obviously not great. So to avoid this in future I checked a few things. Firstly, we'll be increasing our JVM heap a bit, but ultimately the problem could still occur, if a user decides to move most of the content from a space (e.g. move the home page with everything under it).
Moving is unfortunately not a separate permission. Anyone with edit can move the page. So that brings me to my question; does anyone know of a way to restrict users from moving pages, or restricting at least the number of pages?
