How to restrict a user only to the pages of a specific space?

Question

I'm trying to restrict a user or a group to only the pages of a specific space.  I need to make sure that that user isn't able to somehow navigate to other spaces.  Currently, i created a user, added them to a group and associated that group to the space I want to restrict them to.  But when I log in to Confluence using that user's creds, i get dropped in the #all-updates  page.  So I can see updates being made across all spaces.  Even worse, I can click on any of those pages and it'll take me there even if it's in a totally different space.  Can't have that happen.

What am I missing?

Thank you!

What are the permissions on the space that they can see that they should not?

You need to remove whatever it is that is letting them into that!

Thanks Ollie.  I haven't added the user nor the group to any other space under space permissions so I'm assuming that they shouldn't have access to any other space.  But like i mentioned in my original note, since they're landed on the #all-updates page, they can navigate to another space from the links on that #all-updates page.  I looked at page restrictions but that only talks about restricting access to pages under a space.  It doesn't say anything about restricting from pages that are global like the #all-updates page.

Hi @Sanjay Zalavadia ,

Do these users have access to other spaces besides the specific space?

I think you can try to check the following configurations:

1. Global permissions
2. Space permissions
3. Page restrictions

Hope it helps.
