Hi everyone,
I’m trying to understand the best way to manage page restrictions in Confluence now that the “Restricted by Parent” option no longer seems to be available.
In our case, we often need to restrict access to a parent page and all of its child pages. Previously, this was quite straightforward because we could manage the restriction at the parent level and have it inherited by the content underneath it.
Now, unless I’m missing something, it looks like restricting a parent page does not automatically restrict all existing child pages. This means that, if we want to restrict a full page tree, we may need to manually edit the restrictions of each individual page, which is very time-consuming and error-prone.
Is there a recommended way to manage this more efficiently?
In particular, I’d like to know whether there is a way to:
- apply restrictions to a parent page and all its children in fewer steps;
- bulk-edit page restrictions across a page tree;
- ensure that future child pages inherit the same restriction model;
- avoid manually updating every single page when access needs to change.
Any suggestions, best practices, or alternative workflows would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
