How remove anonymous access from all Confluence spaces

sanan sanan

Hi,

We have hundreds of spaces in Confluence which have read-only access enabled for anonymous.

We want to remove anonymous access from all such Conflunece space. Its a long task to open all such spaces one by one and remove the anonymous access.

Is there any easy way in Confluence where I can remove all the anonymous permission from all the spaces in one go. Any CLI option or database command.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

You can stop anonymous access from global configuration. It will stop anonymous access to all your Confluence Spaces.

Go to global permission and deselect anonymous access.

Hi Prakhar,

I have already removedthe the entry for anonymous from the global permissions. new spaces will not get any anonymous access by default now.

but my quest is about how to remove the anonymous access from the existing spaces in any easy way. I want to avoid opening permissions on each and every space and remove the anonymous access. There are hundreds of such spaces..

Hi @sanan sanan

Global Permission will take preference over space level permission. What I mean is if you have removed anonymous access from Global Permission then space level anonymous access are of no use and preference will be given to global level. So anonymous user will not be able to access spaces.

Still if you want to try CLI and run command to change the permission at individual space level then you can try bobswift confluence cli. Below is the link for the command reference :

OK..I got it now.

After removing the anonymous access from the global permissions, I did not check the spaces. I can see now that no space has anonymous access enabled.

This worked.

Thanks for your help, Prakhar.

Have a nice day.
