What permissions do I need to export a space in XML?

Michael Fehle_3he73o

I need to export 3 spaces to XML so that they can be backed up. I have App Admin and User Access Admin, but when I try to export a space I get a "this is restricted" error message. 

What permissions do I need to export to XML, or do I need to belong to the Administrators group and have "Organization Admin" permissions?

Hello @Michael Fehle 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

What are the exact steps you are executing, and what is the full message that you are getting?

Are you able to view the contents of the spaces you want to export?

At the Confluence Space level there is an Export permission. If you have been granted that, and you have permission to View the space, then you should be able to export the space.
