can´t delete space permissions

Romy_Kaminsky

I have administration rights to confluence and are trying to delete permissions from a space for groups and users. So I go to the space, choose, configure -> permissions and edit permissions. Then I´m unchecking the boxes for the group / user and say "save all".

But somehow either it´s only a single checkbox that get´s deactivated and sometimes it doesn´t delete any permission. Tried this yesterday with one space, didn´t work. Today I tried for the same space and then after some time the permissions were deleted. Have done the same steps like yesterday.

Is there a known bug or something?

@Romy_KaminskyWhich version of confluence are you using, do you obtain any errors, try to reproduce it and check what the logs are saying/ provide us with logs so that we can better understand the issue. logs can be found in the <confluence-home>/logs/atlassian-confluence.log

Best!

@Moses Thomas: we are using Confluence Version 6.8.2 hostet on our own server.

I don´t get any errors, it´s just not changing the permissions for some spaces. I don´t have access to the logs as this server is maintained by our local IT.

But what I recognized so far: We had another confluence Admin before, who created most of the spaces. For those spaces it seems, I can just add new permissions to a new group for example and delete them as well, but cannot change the old permissions, that have been set before with the creation of the spaces by the old Admin.

And for new spaces, that I have created, it seems to work.

But somethimes also for the new spaces, which I have created, the old admin is there under "single users" at the permissions and I can´t delete the permissions here as well, although the old user is deactivated. Could this be caused, because I have copied the new space from an old space, that the old admin created?

Any ideas?

@Romy_KaminskyIf you confluence system admin , or contact any space admin in this space to add you as space admin, it should work !.

Best!

@Moses Thomas: yeah, but I am the space admin for all of the spaces as well, that´s why I am wondering about I cannot delete permissions
