How can I hide the space directory for certain groups?

Question

Hi all,

I am aware there is previous information regarding this, but I can't seem to find a definite or clear answer :/

I have created a space that is to be used as a global rollout tool and therefore created groups for each region to ensure privacy and organisation between each market at a page level. However, I can not seem to find the ability nor anything regarding hiding other spaces. Therefore, our client is able to see the bodies of work with other clients which is a real concern. Is there any way whatsoever, of hiding the space directory and any way of navigation to other spaces. Thus restricting access to the specified and permitted space?

Thanks in advance

You should check out your permission schema! Check out one user and uncheck confluence-users group (if checked on)

Pay attention that the group where the user is on (Group 1 here) still needs can use in global permission!

Hi @Fabienne Gerhard

Yes, I believe it to be the case that users by default have global access. I can't seem to find how I would change this permission.

When I remove a user from 'confluence-user', they can't access the space?

Thanks

Hi @Jade Naylor - what are the global and space permissions for the groups?

Because - let's have the view from group 1

They can view one page - but what are their rights for the whole space? And what are the rights for the whole system.

To me it sounds like group 1 has global access - can view - for your whole confluence so that they can see other spaces, too. Maybe the members are users of other groups (like confluence-users) by default that have other permissions as well?
