I am trying to create a new page in Confluence but i get back this error:

"http status 403 - Forbidden". Never happened before, and i have created pages without problems until today.

Thanks

Check if you have had this rollout for you:

If you have created custom roles in Confluence they might have been affected by this.

Hi, @enrique_lopez  👋

A 403 Forbidden usually points to a permissions issue, so I’d first check whether you still have permission to create pages in that space.

Also worth trying:

  • refresh/log out and back in

  • try another browser or incognito mode

  • clear cache/cookies

  • check if the same issue happens in another space

  • if possible, check the browser Network tab to see which request returns 403

If permissions look correct and it started suddenly, I’d ask a Confluence admin or Atlassian Support to check further.

Hope this helps! 💙
