How do I take control of a Confluence Space created by someone other than me?

[Elias Garcell]

I have a Confluence space created by an employee who is no longer with the organization. How do I regain the admin prevliages to archive and/or delete this space?

Hello @Elias Garcell 

In Confluence Cloud click on the gear icon.

In the new page find Space Permissions in the Security section in the navigation pane on the left. Click on it.

That will present you with a screen of default Space Permissions and a list of all spaces on the instance.

Next to the space in question there should be a link for Manage Permissions or Recover Permissions. Use that to give yourself permission to the space.
