Limit user to only have access to specific confluence pages

Question

I am working with AWS on a deep dive of one of our systems.  To facilitate that, I am trying to get them access to a specific set of confluence pages where there is a lot of information that has been documented.  It would be difficult to get this information to them any other way.

While I want them to have access to these pages, they shouldn't have the ability to look around confluence.  Even public pages could have information on them that we wouldn't want to share with AWS.

Is there a way to configure access so they can only see pages we specify, and not general access to all public pages?

I'm afraid that is the only way to do it.  It's pretty basic security and permissions - only let people see what they should.

There is a "share page" option, but you would have to manually do that for every single page, and your AWS people would need to curate a list of bookmarks.

Thanks for your prompt response.

but that doens't work.

I want just not apply to just my confluence space, it applies to all of confluence. they cannot see anything except what i allow them to, or i am not allowed to give them access.

They (AWS users) cannot see any page anybody created on any space except what i tag i have to restrict them to only the pages i want them to see.

Is there any way.Please suggest.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The easiest way to do this is to use Confluence's structure.

* Create a space, and let your AWS users into it.
* Remove all their access to all but that space
* Move the stuff you want to share with them into that space
* You can then use page restrictions within that space to hide pages and their child pages from them if your people have child-pages within there that make sense to be there but AWS shouldn't see
