* i read this https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/add-or-remove-page-restrictions-724764891.html and is exactly what id like to do; but if i search for a group i can't find it because i don't know how to create it

Hi @[deleted],

Different versions of Confluence have different labels or icons (it is Add group in one version and + > Add a group in the other ).

The first article you referred to allows you to create a group, provided you are an Admin (I am assuming you are one). Once you create a group, you should be able to do what the article 2 in your message refers  to.

To restrict any page access to a bunch of users and you know this user group will be helpful elsewhere too, you should go ahead and create a group using the first article. Again, if you are confused with finding the exact path the article suggests - a simple way to find it is:

* Navigate to Admin settings > User Management/General Configuration.
* Search and find Groups in the left side-bar.
* Select this option and you should see Add group link/button/icon.
* Use this to add a group.

I hope I was clear enough and it would help you create a group! :)

Thanks
