Hi everyone, thank you for taking the time to review my post.
I work for a franchised company at the corporate level, and we have been looking at setting up a confluence space with related help center, to which we'd like to provide access to all of our franchise staff, for the purpose of publishing help articles, guides, etc. We do not want this space made fully public, as there would be some potentially sensitive information contained within.
I have been investigating on how we can grant access to this without a) adding them individually 1 by 1 (there are 500+ users) and b) without needing to provide them with a confluence license.
I've identified the ability to allow account creation limited by email domain, which is what we'd like to do for this, but this option creates a full confluence account for the user. We don't want this because a) we just want these users to be able to access the help center only and b) with so many users the cost would be substantial.
So to sum up, we'd like to have a confluence help center accessible to our franchise staff, limiting access by email domain, but keeping those users as "customers" and not full blown confluence users. Is this possible? Thank you for your help.
