Permissions

Aaron McLane

Confluence only question.

My company has many sites and pages.

I have a site (IT) with pages

I want to give a consultant access to a couple pages within my site only.

I create a group, add user.  Give group access to specific pages.

I don't want this group to see anything in the site except the few specific pages

Because this group doesn't have View to the root site they are unable to see the pages within the site I want them too.

Is there some configuration I can implement to allow the behavior I want?

The permission to view cascades down, so the only way to do this is to move the pages you want for the consultants to a space or part of a space where they can see the pages.

I quite often see (and set up) spaces where:

• Space permission - lets everyone in
• Home page - restricted to only our internal users
• Second page for contractors - no restrictions

And place the "external" pages under that second page

One additional trick is for the external pages to have them included in the internal area if their content is useful in there.
