In short, when I post a new page in our private space, I do NOT want it to mention it on the updates feed.
I have created a private space for a team.
I wish to disable updates to the main feed for every post within this space( i.e This is a private space and when we post "Private Topic #1", we don't want everyone else from every other team to see it.) I understand that they won't have access to it, but we don't even want to share the Topic name.
Seems to be way more complicated than it should be to disable notifications. Also, we are not the Administrators of this confluence instance.
Again, I think I am not explaining what the issue is correctly.
We are simple users on Confluence, not Admins. I created a space for my team, let's call it "Top Secret Space". I only want 5 people (Team Allowed), out of the 100 users (Team Not allowed) to be able to see this space(or any of the pages contained within this space), which I have sucessfully set up and confirmed.
Now, I post a page in "Top Secret Space" called "I don't want anyone to see this page." However, everyone on Team Not Allowed can still see that some one posted "I don't want anyone to see this page" on the main feed/ updates page.
Is there, or is there not a way, to DISABLE notifications for a single space, so that there are absolutely NO updates to the main feed?

Yes ALL UPDATES. The main page that alerts after every post or edit. Yes, I have confirmed that people who are not allowed access on our space can see updates on the All Updates page.
To spell it out as plain as I can...
We have a private space that no one has access to besides our select team. I post/edit something in that space, irregardless of team, everyone sees that update on the main feed. There doesn't seem to be any way to turn this auto notification off. (i.e When I edit "Top Secret Doc" that I don't want any one but my team to see, it doesn't post to All Updates and say, "Hey, Dan just edited 'Top Secret Doc'"

Hi Dan,
Shannon is off shift now but I am happy to help. You can modify the way All Updates works, but as it says in Customizing the Confluence Dashboard: "You'll need some knowledge of Velocity to modify the layout files."
Please consider using another space home page for a landing page. You could create a space just for that purpose, it would give you more control. You can change the landing page from Confluence Admin>Further Configuration as described in Configuring the Site Home Page.
Thanks,
Ann

Hello Daniel,
Can you confirm, are you referring to the All Updates section of the dashboard? The updates here that are shown should only be updates that the logged in user has access to see. If you've restricted the space from all other teams, have they confirmed they're still seeing those updates on their dashboard?
Kind Regards,
Shannon

To add here: It seems there is a problem in the browser storage. The problem descibed above is real but under the following conditions:
- Log in to Confluence as user A.
- Request the all-updates page.
- Log out user A.
- Log in as user B from the same browser.
- User B does not have access to spaces user A has.
- Call the all-updates page.
- User B sees all the updates of spaces user A has access to.
So the issue is real, it's breaking the confluece securiy mechanism and it should be fixed asap.
