Check if you have had this rollout for you:

If you have created custom roles in Confluence they might have been affected by this.

Hi, @enrique_lopez  👋

A 403 Forbidden usually points to a permissions issue, so I’d first check whether you still have permission to create pages in that space.

Also worth trying:

* refresh/log out and back in

* try another browser or incognito mode

* clear cache/cookies

* check if the same issue happens in another space

* if possible, check the browser Network tab to see which request returns 403

If permissions look correct and it started suddenly, I’d ask a Confluence admin or Atlassian Support to check further.

Hope this helps! 💙
