Can I exclude a person or group from viewing a page in Confluence?

Question

All our pages are generally open for viewing to all logged in users. We have an external user who we would like to exclude on a space.

Can we add a restcrition like "all users bar XYZ" or restrict hte page otherwise?

Rian's suggestion on 3/28/12 works for me as follows:

* We have a group called library-include-all, which is maintained by Confluence; i.e. all new users with a valid campus login can log in, and the new users are automatically added to library-include-all.  Effectively, the library-include-all group contains faculty, staff, and student assistants working in the library.
* We have another group called library-faculty-staff, which is maintained by a system admin; all new faculty and staff are added to library-faculty-staff.  Luckily, this group is not hard to maintain, because it is quite stable.
* We have a page that we want to restrict viewing to our faculty and staff; i.e. we want to exclude the students.  So, I restrict the page to the group called library-faculty-staff.

Thank you Rian.

Hi Josua,

thanks for the tip. But can I add "all Users" to a group? We have more than 300 Users in Confluence and adding a "comma seperated list" and most importtanly maintaining this list (or more than one !) would be admin horror. :-(
