Public confluence pages

IT Support81

I have confluence for our internal documentation, but we want to create a public confluence site for FAQ, HowTos, etc. Is there a way to easily link two confluence instances, or transfer articles?

Or, can someone help me think through how I can expose just a certain space to the public while the rest is protected?

Thanks,

Christian

Hi,

I understand you are looking to have a specific space for anonymous users, and preventing them from accessing other spaces. You'll need to grant permissions for anonymous access on a specific space. Here's how:

Here I assume that you have two spaces. Space A for your authenticated user and space B for your Anonymous users.

1. First of all anonymous users must have "can use" permission over a global permissions.

• Open the Confluence Admin, go to the Global Permissions.
• Edit Permissions.
• Grant "can use" to Anonymous.

2. Here you need to grant permission to anonymous on Space B and remove the Anonymous view permission on space A

• Open the Confluence Admin, go to the Space Permissions.
• Select Manage Permissions of Space A
• Edit Permissions
• Unselect all the permissions of Anonymous
  
  • Please make sure that you removed the Anonymous Access Permission from all other spaces. If any other space has anonymous access permission, anonymouse can access that spaces.
• Save All
• Go back to your space permissions
• Select Manage Permissions of Space B
• Remove the permissions of "confluence-users" group by Edit Permissions.
• Edit permissions of Anonymous and grant permissions

You can refer to Setting Up Public Access documentation for more information about granting public access to a space. I would also recommend you to take a look at Space Permissions Overview.

Let me know if you have any other questions

Cheers,
