How to grant privileges to one specific page - desperately looking for help

berecom

 

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to grant specific privileges (e.g., view, edit) to a single page within a Confluence space, while maintaining different permission settings for the rest of the space. I’m aware that Confluence handles space-level permissions, but is there a way to configure permissions on a page-by-page basis?

Here’s an example of my scenario:

I have two spaces: "Sales" and "HR."

• The "Sales" space is restricted to the Sales team (Sara, Sven, and Steve) and is confidential to the rest of the company.
• The "HR" space is restricted to the HR team (Hanna, Harry, and Helen) and is also confidential.

Now, I want to grant Sara (from Sales, not part of the HR group) access to a specific page in the "HR" space, but I can't seem to find an option to give her permission for just that one page.

Is there a way to do this within Confluence? Any advice or steps would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers, Bernie

Hi @berecom 

In Confluence permissions are positive (granting) and restrictions are negative (limiting).

You need to grant Sara access to the HR space, then restrict all pages from Sara in HR except the one you want her to view, if that page is a child page you need to give her view access for that entire tree. You need to at least add this restriction on all top-level pages.

I would suggest you create a group for Salespeople who need to peek in HR, and add Sara to this group, set the above using the group. This way when Sara no longer needs access, you can remove her from the group without adjusting the restrictions, and if another salesperson needs access you can add them to the group.
