Confluence - Visibility of user sessions?

Question

I may be missing the obvious answer at the moment, but is there a way in Confluence to view a user session to verify that they have logged into the system?

I have a contractor that is claiming to not be able to view a page with special restrictions, even though he has all the permissions needed to view said page.

I use this feature in JIRA all the time and it is very straight forward but I cant seem to find a similar function in Confluence.

We are operating on an instance Confluence 3.5 that is hosted here on site.

Unclear why it's not possible to just look at a page like one can in JIRA.

Nicholas,

You may wish to turn on log4j to enable user access logging.

You should be able to parse through your logs to determine if a given user has accessed the page in question.
