Does any confluence user, with access to the space, have access to make themselves a watcher

Someone asked me how they can receive alert updates for a project page. I have admin access, I am wondering if its user sensitive to create yourself as a watcher.

Hi @Alejandra Yvette Cano 

A user can watch any space, blog or page as long he as access to the site. He then will recieve a mail for:

• Edits (unless the author clears the 'Notify watchers' check box).
• Deletions.
• Attachments, including new versions or deletions of an existing attachment.
• Comments, including new comments, edits of existing comments or deletions of existing comments.

Watchers are documented here.

Hope this helped.

Regards, 

Dominic
