Free Tier Permissions

[Daniel Edge]

Hi,

I’m using the friee tier of Confluence for pesonal use. It’s not clear from the documentation if this is open to anyone with a confluence account. I want to ensure that it is only accessible to myself. Is this possible with the free tier?

Thanks

Hi @Daniel Edge ,

welcome to the community.

On Confluence Free tier, anyone who can access your Confluence instance can see your personal space by default. If you're the only user with accessm, no other users can read or access your contents.

Since you're on a Free plan, you won't be able to lock down your personal space. You'll need to upgrade your plan to a paid tier in order to set space permissions.

More infromation are available at the following link https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/manage-permissions-in-the-free-edition-of-confluence-cloud/

Hope this helps,

Fabio

So the distinction being personal space vs a site?

any Content added to a personal space will be publicly visible but any sites won’t be if I lock down just to myself ?

All users that are able to login to you instance can see spaces and pages. If you invite a user, it will be able to see all confleunce contents.

Ciao,

Atlassian and@Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_ are omitting a critical security risk here. Given:

- You create a free tier Atlassian account
- You create two Jira boards, we'll call them Board-1 and Board-2
- You invite ANY 3rd party (lets call them User-2) to join Board-1
- User-2 will be able to see everything on Board-1 and Board-2. Further User-2 can delete both Board-1 and Board-2 to the trash.

Not disclosing this is negligent and unacceptable.
