Confluence: Allow public access to some pages

[Daniel]

Hi,

I would like to grant public access to some pages of Confluence. In particular, the user's manual I'm writing. 

I would like them to see it, and even to write comments.

Is this possible?

Reading the documentation I haven't found a definitive answer.

Thank you and sorry If this is not the right place to ask for it

I think this doc is probably what you're after. If I understand the requirement correctly, you have content that you want to make public so that people can see it without needing a login (and license.) Assuming I'm right, here is how it works.

Atlassian refers to this as "anonymous access." Basically, you just need to create a Space and assign the Space Permissions that you want to grant anonymous users per the doc above. This feature allows you to have a combination of private and public content in your Confluence instance. Just be careful with it! It's easy to inadvertently grant anonymous access to the wrong stuff!

If you need to have public and private stuff in the Space that you allow anonymous access to, you can use a feature called Page Restrictions to take away anonymous access to certain pages (and their descendants) easily. Good luck!
