As Arkadiusz mentioned, it is important to verify the specific permission settings in Confluence that allow page creation.

Here are the areas that should be checked:

1. Global Permissions
Navigate to:
Confluence Administration → Global Permissions

Verify that the user belongs to a group that has access to Confluence and basic permissions enabled.

2. Space Permissions
Navigate to:
Space Settings → Space Permissions

Ensure the user or their group has the “Add Pages” permission in that particular space. Without this permission, users cannot create pages even if they are product admins.

3. Page Restrictions
If the page is being created under a parent page, check whether that parent page has restrictions enabled. Space Admin can check this in Space Settings → Content → Restricted
Page restrictions may prevent users from adding child pages.

4. Group Membership
Confirm that the user is part of the expected Confluence group (for example:
confluence-users or a custom group assigned to the space permissions).

Even if a user has product admin privileges, page creation can still fail if space-level permissions or page restrictions are not configured properly. I recently saw this problem as our Testing mentioned that they were not able to create a page, so checked all these permissions and found out what's actually restricting from creating a page!

Hello @Mario Salles and Olá,

uma coisa que vale a pena verificar aqui é o modelo de permissões do Confluence.

Ser administrador não significa automaticamente ter todas as permissões em todos os lugares. No Confluence as permissões são aplicadas em diferentes níveis:

  • Permissões globais
  • Permissões do espaço
  • Restrições da página

Por causa disso, alguém pode ser admin e mesmo assim não ter permissão para criar páginas em um espaço específico, se não tiver a permissão “Add page / Adicionar página” nesse espaço ou se a página pai tiver restrições.

Hi @Mario Salles 

It means exactly that - you don't have permissions to create a page.

Those permissions are typically granted per space.

Contact your Confluence admin to grant you access. I'd start by asking your direct manager and/or contacting your IT department (chances are, they either are admins or know who is)

 

Significa exatamente isso: você não tem permissão para criar uma página.

Essas permissões geralmente são concedidas por espaço.

Entre em contato com o administrador do Confluence para que ele lhe conceda acesso. Eu começaria perguntando ao seu gerente direto e/ou entrando em contato com o departamento de TI (provavelmente, eles são administradores ou sabem quem é).

@Mario Salles 

Ser o proprietário da página, administrador ou responsável pelos pagamentos é independente da capacidade de criar uma página em um espaço específico.
