How are you managing permissions at scale in Confluence without creating conflicts?

[Yashodip Jadhav]

Hello Everyone,

In larger setups of Confluence, managing space and page-level permissions starts getting messy really fast. Sometimes users don’t get access when they should, or worse, they get access to things they shouldn’t. I’m trying to understand how others are handling this are you relying more on groups, space-level permissions, or some structured approach to avoid conflicts? What’s working for you in real scenarios?

Hi @Yashodip Jadhav 

For me this depends on the company values, are you transparent.

Add in global space permissions a group with al employees, and on existing spaces, as these will not be impacted, that they can view and possibly comment

Have groups basede on departments and grant these groups to required permission on the related space, so you only have to add a user to the relevant group, the same can apply on project spaces.

Individual page restriction let them be handled by a space admin.

Just my thoughts on this

For us the following works best:

• manage view access via spaces and groups
• manage write access via spaces and groups, and additionally on individual pages
