Page restrictions - group and individual difference

rcohan

How do I give a single non-group user access to a specific page without giving them space-wide access?

Use case:

There is a page, within a space.

The space grants read/edit access to a set of users (who are not all members of a defined directory group, so not easily referenced by a small set of group names)

I want to... in addition... give read only access to a few individual users who are not in the above set of members of the space.

So "Marketing" (and a some misc. others) has access to all the pages in the space, but I want, in addition to have "Fred" who is not in Marketing and not a member of the space users defined, to be able to read one specific page in the space - and that page only.

Q1. Is there a way to grant Fred read only access to the single page, while retaining the space-wide access for others to the page and without having to make Fred a full space member? This is what I am trying to achieve

Q2.  Could this situation help the above: I see a couple people listed as "guests" in the space, but not sure if there is a way to allow the "Guest" role to have access to only one page?

Hi, 

Unfortunately, Confluence's access permissions are set top-down, meaning that you must first grant access to your space and then to specific pages (if needed). 

On the other hand, the use of "guest users" has the same problem I just mentioned, as guest access permissions are set at the space level.

I know it's a shame, but alternatively, I suggest these two workarounds::

1) Try using an add-on that lets you share content outside of Confluence. I found this one, but I've never used it: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220562/external-share-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud

2) Create a Space called "Shared Specific Content", then grant space access to everyone. Every time you create a page in it, set page restrictions. I know, it's not ideal, but that might cover your needs.

I hope this helps
