Feature Request: Decouple "Export Space" (bulk) from individual "Export Page to PDF" permissions

[Oleksiy Nagornyy]

Confluence Cloud currently bundles bulk space exports and individual page PDF exports under a single "Export Space" permission toggle. This all-or-nothing approach breaks enterprise security and workflow requirements.

From a security and operational perspective, we need:

• Bulk export disabled: to comply with DLP controls and prevent mass data exfiltration.

• Individual page export enabled: to support legitimate document sharing with clients who are not licensed on our instance.

Bundling these together forces teams into an impossible choice: either accept the risk of mass exfiltration or completely lose the ability to share single pages as PDFs with clients.

Hello @Oleksiy Nagornyy 

The normal flow for feature requests is to open a ticket with Atlassian support, and they will open it in their JAC in your name if request is valid. 

Best,

@Oleksiy Nagornyy Welcome to the Atlassian community.

• To export a single page in Confluence Cloud to PDF, the user only needs View permission for that specific page.
• To export an entire space to PDF, the user needs the Export Space permission.

If you don't want people to be able to export the whole space (or multiple pages in a space) in one PDF, do not give them the Export Space permission.
