How to restrict a user only to the pages of a specific space?

[Sanjay Zalavadia]

I'm trying to restrict a user or a group to only the pages of a specific space.  I need to make sure that that user isn't able to somehow navigate to other spaces.  Currently, i created a user, added them to a group and associated that group to the space I want to restrict them to.  But when I log in to Confluence using that user's creds, i get dropped in the #all-updates  page.  So I can see updates being made across all spaces.  Even worse, I can click on any of those pages and it'll take me there even if it's in a totally different space.  Can't have that happen.

What am I missing?

Thank you!

Hi @Sanjay Zalavadia ,

Do these users have access to other spaces besides the specific space?

I think you can try to check the following configurations:

1. Global permissions
2. Space permissions
3. Page restrictions

Hope it helps.

Thanks Ollie.  I haven't added the user nor the group to any other space under space permissions so I'm assuming that they shouldn't have access to any other space.  But like i mentioned in my original note, since they're landed on the #all-updates page, they can navigate to another space from the links on that #all-updates page.  I looked at page restrictions but that only talks about restricting access to pages under a space.  It doesn't say anything about restricting from pages that are global like the #all-updates page.

What are the permissions on the space that they can see that they should not?

You need to remove whatever it is that is letting them into that!
