Page Restrictions - individual user restrictions

Nuno André Silva

Hello,

We are using Confluence version (Atlassian Confluence 7.13.5).

We are trying to set space permissions and page restrictions in a way that we avoid using individual user access to the pages, or in other words we want to set all the permissions and restrictions based on groups.

The question is:
- when I try to edit the page restrictions, of a certain page, my user gets added to the page restrictions individually and the same happens whenever other user edits the page, even though the user had already edit capabilities since he belongs to a group with edit permissions.

Is there a way to avoid the user that is editing the page, to be added individually to the page restrictions?

Thanks in advance

No. Confluence adds the current user to page restrictions by default so that a page doesn't end up with no one being able to edit or view it.

However, it really doesn't matter. If you're the one editing the page restrictions, you probably ought to have access to the page. You might be in a group, too. You'll still get access to the page either way.

If users who are editing the page itself are getting added to the page restrictions as individual users, that's not right. They must have edited the page restrictions in order for that to happen.
