Cannot create or view pages even if i am granted full permissions

Question

I was given full rights to a space in confluence via permissions to a group which i am part of. However there is 1 particular space created by another user that i can never add a new page nor view existing pages.

We've tried setting full permission via individual user permission as well as group permission settings to my userid.

Is this a bug? Anyway can be resolved ?

Thanks, inspecting the restricted pages worked ! I am surprised with "space admin" privileges, i cannot even see a listing of pages protected with individual user rights.

Hi @Peng Wai ,

Even if you are a space administrator, you still cannot access pages that are restricted and not allowed in the space. You can find these restricted pages through the methods mentioned by @Mayuresh Kamble

Only Org/Site administrators or Confluence administrators are not restricted (they can reset or change these restrictions)

Hi @Peng Wai ,

If you have the Add page permission in a space you should be able to create the page, this is unusual behaviour which I think you should report to Atlassian Support

Regarding viewing of the pages there might be restrictions added due to which you are not able to view them, However you can find the list of restricted pages in the Space Settings -> Manage Content section which will also show the users having permission to access/edit the required page.

Thanks & Regards,
Mayuresh
