nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Can I block all forms of Anonymous Access to Private Spaces, regardless of any other configuration ?

As an Admin, can I, at the same time:

- allow 'Anonymous Access' to the website (ie. to _some_ spaces),

- allow co-workers to create their own Private Spaces,

- and yet, forbid co-workers to share any content from their Private Space on the World Wide Web (ie. no Anonymous Access allowed to Private Spaces) ?

Hi @p19z

Yes this is possible.

You will need to:

Set Confluence to allow anonymous
Set default Global Space permissions that does not allow anonymous to access all spaces
Set each space that need anonymous access to grant the required access
Create a process that is followed by all private space owners which requires them to not change the space permission to allow anonymous access. (You can as the confluence admin manually access these spaces and ensure the permission is set correctly)

with these in place private spaces should not show up on the web.

Cheers.

Hi, thanks for the answer. I was actually thinking about something that would be a policy enforcement (and wouldn't need a process, a warning, nor any monitoring).

In fact, ideally, users should not be able to share their private profiles (or any page within it) with anybody outside of a specific group. Let's say that only "all-mycorp-colleagues" would be able to create and view Private Spaces and users from this group would only be able to add restrictions on their private pages; and *not* be able to broaden their audience (well, at least not without publishing into a dedicated Space that allows viewing from other audiences such as users registered to other groups, or even world-wide viewing).

I ask this because Management is concerned with Security -- eg. accidental sharing -- and would rather disable Private Spaces completely. Which is a shame.
