Why can't I view pages in my space when I have all promissions in my space?

[Katherine Pagni]

I was granted all permissions to my space but am unable to view certain pages in my space.  They don't even pop-up when I search them in the search box.  Why is that?  On my space home page, I only see two administrators listed including myself.  Should I be able to see the names of all the administrators that have permissions to the space?  Does this mean I don't have viewing rights to all the other pages owned by the admins that I don't see on the list but have permissions to the space? How to I correct this problem and get viewing rights to all pages in the space?  What does it mean by published and unpublished?  How does someone check is a page is unpublished?  I appreciate all the help in advance.  Thank you.

Hi @Katherine Pagni,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Confluence has three different permissions; global, space and page restrictions. So if you have the right permissions in the space then it is the page restrictions that is doing this. View page restrictions are inherited down from the parent page to children, so if you are not added to the view permission then you will not be able to see those pages. As a space admin you can go to Space Settings and see which pages are restricted under Manage pages.

Thank you @Mikael Sandberg and @Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_ for your help.  I have fixed the problem and have access in my pages now.
