I need to restrict my restrictions on a page

David Yu

Here's a use case I just encountered. How does one allow editing of a page, but not allow users to modify the page's restrictions? Another requirement is I don't want to completely disable page restrictions for other pages within the space.

It seems a bit weird that if creator A authors page, and grants read to user B, user B can remove the view permission to creator A.

I've searched jira.atlassian.com and the classic forums but didn't come up with anything.

Hallo David

You can set the space permissions to allow/disallow the editing of page restrictions. Here's the documentation:

I hope this helps!

Sarah, you're a proper wiki ninja. Treat yourself to a chocolate.

Thanks Sarah, but it doesn't quite work because I need to allow users to restrict pages. I just don't want them to remove restrictions on another page that they didn't author.

For example, I have a very private document and a user can accidentally just add confluence-users to the View permissions without my knowledge. But I want to allow this user to edit the content of my page.

Hallo David

Ah, I see. I can't think of any way to restrict the permissions to the person who authored the page. You can restrict the "restrictions" permission to a given group. For example, you can say one group of people can add/edit pages but not restriction permissions, and another group can add/edit and also restrict permissions. But none of the Confluence permissions allow you to distinguish between person who originally wrote the page and any other author.
