How to grant access to a specific page(s) without granting access to anything else

Stefan Götz

Hi. 

We are working with an external collaborator and what him to see and work on some specific pages we created in some general spaces (e.g. sales, marketing, etc.). 

I want to expose only a specific page, not the whole space which already contains a lot of pages. 

What we did is:

1. register the user
2. create and added to the group "externals"
3. removed him from the group "confluence user"
4. assign under page restrictions access to this specific person

This does not work. But if I leave him in the group "confluence user" he can see everything which is already created.

Is there a way to hide everything from a specific group or users and only grant permissions to a specific page? 

Thank you. 

S.

Please try these steps:

1. Create the user account
2. Add it to the group "externals"
3. Remove user from the group "confluence-users" (or whichever group you use to grant Use Confluence global permission)
4. Grant Use Confluence global permission to "externals" group
5. Grant appropriate space permissions to "externals" group
6. Add to page restrictions if desired

For reference, please review:

• Permissions and restrictions
• Space Permissions Overview
• Global Permissions Overview

I hope the steps work as expected, please let me know any obstacles you run into.
