Restricting Edit access for multiple users

Latoya Dillon

Hello,

I am creating a confluence space that requires multiple users from different teams to edit only the parts of the page applicable to their team, however when I create multiple automation it is only holding the edit settings for the last rule created. So i'm attempting to created a nested IF rule but it only gives the edit access to the first set of users.

This is how my page is set up

Hello and welcome @Latoya Dillon 

This is a Confluence limitation, not an automation one.

In Confluence Cloud, edit restrictions are applied at the content/page level. Atlassian’s documentation describes restrictions as content-level or page-level controls, not section-level controls within one page. 

So if different users or groups should edit different parts of the content, the supported way is to split that into separate pages, apply the relevant edit restrictions on each page, and then combine them again in an overview page if needed. Atlassian also states that space permissions apply broadly to the space, with finer controls only at the page level.
