Has admin permission behaviour changed lately (since May 2019)?

[Helen Gosper]

Wondering if anyone else has had similar issue, and how they resolved it.

I'm a site-admin in our Confluence cloud instance and I need to partly unrestrict a page that a user without admin permission has restricted. 

I used to be able to do this but I'm not sure if this behaviour has changed recently, or whether I may be thinking of when we were on Confluence Server. Surely there must be a way for the person who is responsible for the site to be able to view/edit and unrestrict a page?

Advice anyone? (please don't say to upgrade to cloud premium).

thanks

Hallo Li Pan

You can set the "site home page" to be the home page of a space instead of the dashboard. When people click the site logo, it will direct them to that home page.

The docs for Confluence 5.1 are here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+the+Site+Home+Page

If you're using an earlier version, choose your version at the bottom left of the doc page.

I hope this answers the question!

Cheers

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

thanks. the way you show me is only working when users log in. But after a user logged in, if he clicks on the site logo, it will redirect you to the dashboard. I want it redirect to a specific space or page.

My Conluence version is 5.

thanks.

It's a bug! And it's fixed in Confluence 5.1, which is why our site works but not yours: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-28475

Good news, if you can upgrade to 5.1 :)

Oh, that's interesting. I wonder if it's a bug. On our doc site, clicking the logo takes you to a space home page. https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+Documentation+Home

I'll enquire to see if we had to do something special to make that happen.
