Make contributions publicly accessible without login

[Testuser]

HI

I signed up today to test Confluence, I've only heard good things about it on Google.
I have a question about Confluence.

Is it possible to have Confluence with a free subscription?
I would like to set up Confluence as a wiki and make the contributions publicly available, how does this work?

Kind regards

Yves

Hi @Testuser 

Confluence has a free plan for up to 10 users (https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/pricing)

You can then take advantage of the pubic access feature and have it open for the public https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/set-up-public-access/

Thanks for the info

I am in the settings -> global permissions -> anonymous access, unfortunately I cannot make any changes there. Is this not possible during the test phase? But in the free version it works?

[Testuser]

Where can I set that the anonymous user has read rights to areas and pages?
Can I set this globally somewhere? I hope that I do not have to set this every time.

@Testuser is the following edit button visible to you?

You can read the documentation to obtain all this knowledge you are asking :)

First you open your instance to anonymous access, and then for every space you need anonymous access, you grant them the rights you want.

@Testuser 

Do you have to create an area, or can you start right away with pages?
Can I hide links on the "Overview, Blog, Calendar" page?
https://test2022test.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BereichTest/

you can hide them from the settings:

[Testuser]

Thank you, I was able to set it that way.

Last question for now I think
Then I can set it up the way I want.

Do I have to create a section, or can I start with pages right away?

I would like that when someone enters https://test2022test.atlassian.net/ they go directly to the page and Lins sees the page structure and doesn't have to select a section first.

@Testuser from Fruther configuration you can set the homepage, which will be a space, but not a particular page.

[Testuser]

Thanks for the info

Last question, can I change the address from "https://test2022test.atlassian.net/wiki" to "https://projekt2023.atlassian.net/wiki/".

[Alex Koxaras -Relational-]

nope, you have to create a new instance with the name projekt2023

[Testuser]

When I go to Administration at the top left, 2 admin areas appear for me to select.
How can I remove the bottom entry?
The top one is correct.

[Testuser]

I have selected the area as the start page, but it is still not displayed.

[Testuser]

I was able to customise the AnonymUser in the test version "Standard".
But I went back to Free because this is currently enough for me.
I am the sole administrator for the site. However, I would like everyone to be able to view the contributions, even without a Confluence login. For this I want to adapt the AnonymUser. But this is not possible.
Support has referred me to the community.

[Alex Koxaras -Relational-]

Why is not possible to activate the anonymous user?

[Testuser]

When I go to the link https://ms4y.atlassian.net with the other browser, a login window appears. So the AnonymUser is not enabled for reading.
I don't have the point mentioned in the post from 30.10.2022 in the free account of Confluence.
If you want, I can change my password to a temporary one or I can invite the person or my TestUser, which I have created in Confluence in my area.

Did you enable anonymous access from the global permissions? https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/set-up-public-access/

After doing that, you have to go to the specific space and grant permissions also to the anonymous users. https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/make-a-space-public/

[Testuser]

Thanks for the links
But I can't set it up like it says on the link.
I can create a login so that you can see for yourself that it doesn't work.

[Testuser]

I would be really happy if this could work with the anonymous user who has read rights to all pages/areas. Otherwise, unfortunately, Confluence is useless for me.
If someone would like to take a closer look at the issue, I would be happy to give them access to it.

[Testuser]

It's a pity that there is no more reply.
I didn't manage to give the anonymous user the rights to enable all pages in read mode.
Unfortunately, COnfluence is of no use to me.
