@Maria Gonzalez If you just need to see the list of spaces with owners, you can:

  1. Log in to Confluence as a Product Admin
  2. Click the Cog icon in the upper-right corner
  3. Under Admin tools, select Spaces to see a list of the spaces in your instance, including the Title, Key, Owner, and Last Viewed

Notes:

  • By default, you see the list of Active spaces; select the Archived or Trashed button at the top to see the corresponding spaces (Atlassian automatically deletes trashed spaces after 60 days)
  • The list shows 25 spaces per page
  • There is no export feature, but you can select the rows on the current page and copy/paste them into a spreadsheet

Hey there @Maria Gonzalez ,

Notice that the Space Owner feature was only recently rolled out as originally Spaces only had Creators.

The Space Reports feature will generate a list of Spaces that includes Space Creator details.

In order to generate it:

  1. Log in to Confluence as a Product Admin
  2. Click the Cog icon in the upper-right corner
  3. Under Data Management, select Space Reports
  4. Click the blue Create report button
  5. When the report is ready, click the Download button

The direct URL to access this is:

https://<your-domain>.atlassian.net/wiki/admin/space-reports

Reference: See and learn about all of your spaces with the new Space Reports feature! (May, 2024)

As the Space Owner feature has been recently released as per Spaces now have owners! (late July, 2025) the Space Owner column was not originally included in Space Reports.

As @Valerie Knapp mentioned, it's possible to use the Get Space by ID REST API endpoint to find details about Space Owners (as it will return a "spaceOwnerId" value), but you'll need to apply some scripting to cover all ~300 Spaces.

Here's how the request would look like:

Hope this helps!  =]

Hi @Maria Gonzalez , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your post.

As far as I know, Fabio's answer from 2022 is still correct - https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Confluence-questions/How-to-get-list-of-all-Confluence-spaces-and-their-admins/qaq-p/2107985 

You would need to use the REST API in Postman or similar to retrieve this information in bulk.

Best wishes
