Confluence restrict user to a specific space

Anthony Sapountzis

We are currently have one lcient with access to our confluence on demand, they are in the confluence-users group with changes made to confluence recently they can now see all spaces.
How can we restrict them to their own space.

They are also added to their own group.

Accepted answers

I had to go through each space and remove the confluence-users from the allowed groups. THe confluence-users are also not the within teh default group that gets assigned to any space so it has worked out ok. I had to follow

Hi Anthony,

You'll have to change the permission schema of all spaces and remove the confluence-users group from the ones you don't wish them to have access. You may want also to create a new group for these users and allow this group to access only the spaces they have to by changing the space permissions. I know this might take some time but it's necessary to change the permissions again.

Cheers,

Rodrigo

I don't think the solution is to take confluence-users off all spaces. Where are you setting this users groups? What happens if you remove just him from the confluence-users group?

Anthony Sapountzis

If i remove from confluence-users they do not have access to confluence at all.

When we had it set it up there was no confluence-users group. Atlassian added that and know you must be part of that group to access confluence.

Apologies,

If you give this customer group you have created for this user the same global permissions as the confluence-users group he should be able to log in.

Apologies,

Let me organize my thoughts a bit better.

1) permit the custom group he is in on the global permissions. This will allow a login.

2) remove him from confluence-users group to remove permissions on most of your site content.

3) add space permission for his group on the space you want him to be able to access

4) Access should be restricted to that single space and nothing else without having to juggle the confluence-user permissions on all spaces

In case anyone else has a similar issue (like me) and the other answers don't solve it.

In my case, I don't know why, but Anonymous had been granted a number of permissions in Space Permissions. When I removed them (no current need for anonymous access) then the client's user group became restricted to the client space, as I hoped.
