Share entire space

[Guido Sluijsmans]

Can I share an entire space with external partners? I want them to be able to see all pages in this space, so including several pages or subpages. I don't want them to be a  user.

Hi @Guido Sluijsmans ,

The Guests feature was created for this exact use case: sharing all contents from a specific Space with external partners.

You can add up to 5 Guests for each paid user license - eg.: if you have a 200 users license, you can invite up to 200 x 5 = 1.000 Guests. They will not have full access like regular users, but credentials (username and password) will still be required to access your Site.

Please check this page and let us know if that works for you: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/invite-guests-for-external-collaboration/

Hope this helps!  =]

Hi @Guido Sluijsmans, 

On Confluence Cloud (Standard) you can’t share a whole space with people who aren’t Confluence users. Every person who views pages must have at least a “view-only” account—there’s no built-in public-access link.

If you need true read-only sharing without creating accounts, you have two options:

1. Upgrade to Premium or Enterprise
   • Go to Space Settings → Permissions
   • Find the Anonymous Access section and grant View permission
   • Share your space URL—anyone with that link can view everything without signing in.
2. Install a Marketplace app
   • For example, look for “public share” or “space publisher” apps in the Atlassian Marketplace.
   • These let you publish a space (or parts of it) to an external audience without Confluence accounts.

If you’re on Standard and can’t upgrade, you’ll need to either create view-only user accounts for your partners or export the space (PDF/HTML) and send it manually.

@Mia Tamm  - that is not true.

Confluence Standard supports Anonymous access.

Hi @Kristian Klima ,

Thanks for pointing that out — you’re right. Confluence Standard does support Anonymous Access; my earlier comment was incorrect. I appreciate you taking the time to share the clarification and the screenshot.

For anyone else reading, you can enable this via Space Settings → Permissions → Anonymous Access, and grant the relevant view permissions. This will allow non-logged-in users to access your content, as long as your site is set to be public.

Thanks again for the correction Kristian and sorry about this @Guido Sluijsmans!

Hi @Guido Sluijsmans 

You have several options - if you don't mind you space being totally public, you can simply enable anonymous access in space settings.

If you want to control access without giving your audience a seat (user or guest), you can do so using a Marketplace app that 

a) creates a static website from you Confluence content

b) allows you to control access to that website with your SSO scheme

To my best knowledge, there are two apps that allow that:

• Scroll Viewport by K15t
• Instant Websites by Glintech

I've been writing extensively about the topic, for example: How to build a product documentation solution in 30 minutes so feel free to ask more questions.
