How to manage labels permissions in confluence?

[Fabian A. Lopez (Community Leader - Argentina, Florida, California)]

Multiple add-ons are based their functionalities on labels. Is there a way to protect labels in Confluence so only some users can delete or add them?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist- · Accepted solution]

Natively, no, as controlling labels to that extent defeats the purpose of what they are for.  A better approach would be tools that help admins curate labels, but annoyingly, the tools for that are also not built into Confluence

There are a number of label management add-ons that can help with both approaches in the marketplace.

@Fabian A. Lopez (Community Leader - Argentina, Florida, California) we wanted to have a bulk editing tool for labels and restrict some features to admins only so we built an app that has admin only restrictions.

I know this is years late but I do believe it is the first app to do with fact. If curious take a look at Label Manager by Easy Apps.
