Can you password protect access to a Space?

Jamie Sunter

Hi, 

We have a space on our confluence that we could like share with users outside of our organisation, however we would like this to be password protected access. 

I have searched various plugins/integrations and also other threads however they do not seem to lock off a whole space, only specific pages to people in the organisation. 

Any suggestions on this level of security? 

 

Thanks!

No.

Confluence's access model simply doesn't do it that way., it is account based - you log in with an account and then have access to whatever that account is permissioned for.  And you can grant access to people who have not logged in and remain anonymous.

To "password protect" a space, you need to give access to the people who should use it.  The password is however they authenticate with Confluence.

You could do this outside Confluence by putting a proxy in front of it and requiring extra passwords for ranges of urls, but your people will still need the account based access, and you've said you're on Cloud where you don't have any control over proxies to do this sort of thing.
