Will my content still be private to the general public if I invite anonymous users?

Ian Malott

I'm trying to find a way to give my team "Read/View only" access to my content without having to create a confluence account for each member. I don't want the content to be viewable by the general public, only the people I invite.

You can't do this as stated because a user either has an account or they do not. There are three ways an individual can see Confluence content:

They have an account that has "browse" access to a space
Anonymous access is enabled (which means the user does not need to log in, but you can't tell who they are)
You have Jira Service Desk hooked up to a "Knowledge base" - these "customer" accounts get access to KBs via their customer-of-JSD account. But the space must be linked to JSD.

Thank you for your reply!

So if I am understanding your answer correctly, my team members need to have an account in order to view content on Confluence.

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Yes, you are absolutely right.

The first and third access method require accounts for the users. The first is a confluence account, the third a jira "customer" account.

The second option of "anonymous" opens content up to the world.
