Is there a way to have child pages inherit the restrictions on browsing and editing that are set on

Question

You are organizing information by adding multiple child pages to a specific page.

The document below says that editing constraints are not inherited by child pages, and I tried it and it worked the same way. Is there a way to inherit the constraints of the parent page to the child page?

Background:

Multiple people are adding and editing child pages, but I want to inherit the constraints of the parent page because I need to set the constraints each time I add a page.

@中尾 野風 Welcome to the community.

The page you linked to is for Data Center, but your post indicates you are using Cloud.

According to this page: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/add-or-remove-page-restrictions/, viewing restrictions are inherited from parent to child, but editing restrictions are not.

You can use Space permissions to restrict a user's ability to add or edit pages. See this page for more information: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/what-are-confluence-cloud-permissions-and-restrictions/

I guess it could be somehow solved with a custom script or automation rule that copies the restriction from a page to all its descendants, but to me the question is:

"If there is a whole tree of pages that you want to restrict, would it make more sense to move them to a separate space?"

You can configure the "edit" permission for the whole space, so the problem is auto-resolved. And it may be a better structure for your information, too.
