Page permission for only two pages

Question

Hi,

some extern guys should have access to a specific area, but in this are only to two pages. Is it possible to give them rights to only see them or do i have to edit every other page in this area ? Because, when i add a extra page, i have to edit the permissions again.

Thank you very much.

Pascal

Hi @Pascal Schindler,

an easy way would be to move the requested pages to a new Confluence space and give permissions to your external partners via Space permissions.

This avoids possible leakage of internal information right from the beginning.

Hello @Pascal Schindler,

This is not something you can easily do. Currently in Confluence, you'd need to do something like:

* Create a group for these external persons (e.g., confluence-visitors)
* Grant View permission to confluence-visitors in the space where those 2 pages are
* Restrict pages:

Space homepage

|

|- Parent page restricted to confluence-users

|- Restricted content only accessible to confluence-users

|- Parent page without any restriction

|- Unrestricted content accessible by both confluence-users and confluence-visitors

Atlassian is currently working on the way permissions work, see CONFSERVER-7089 and CONFSERVER-37884:

Atlassian Update, October 29 2018

We’re planning on making a number of improvements to Confluence permissions over the coming 6-9 months, and this is one of the suggestions we’re strongly considering implementing. We fully appreciate the current difficulties involved in not being able to ‘add’ page restrictions within a hierarchy which is overall more restrictive.

In the meantime, the app Comala Share it may help you (assuming you're using Confluence Server and not Cloud).

Hope this helps!
