Can you separately authorize external users on the same space?

Question

Hello Confluence community,

I have an space in Confluence with many pages and sub pages. Several people work on this area (internally). But I also want to allow external people to read and edit this area. The problem is that all other internal people have to restrict the existing Confluence pages, otherwise the external people could access confidential data. Is there a way to enable external people separately for the page, without that they can access the enabled pages in Confluence?

Thanks!

Hi @Adina

As far as I know, you have to restrict the pages to not be shared with external users, not the other way around unfortunately.

There is one simple option though:

* Create two parent pages - one shared with external users, and one restricted to internal users
* Move all internal pages under the restricted parent page
* Move the external pages under the other

^ Child pages inherent the view settings from the parent page, so you could restrict just the one parent page, and that would apply to all other pages under it.
