I hate confluence! Until I get a solution to my user access challenge at least...

Roald Valen October 2, 2024

We are using Confluence (the product) (most likely the latest version if there are no "pay for the latest" option somewhere)

We have two spaces

Each space have several pages

I want to invite some externals to ONLY one page in one of the spaces, but no!

I first need to add them to the product, giving them access to ALL of our spaces/pages.

Then I cannot fin any way to restrict their access to that single page. 

 

Question: How newbie am I here? 

Is it possible to allow externals/guest to only see/edit one page?

If not possible, can I make the restriction to one space only? 

 

I think I am an Admin. It says "ORG ADMIN" one place but dont know if this goes for one product, one space, one group or other..

 

Any help is highly appreciated!

I've played a bit with this, and looks like the one solution would be to:

  • restrict all confluence pages to confluence users (licensed group), then pages without restrictions would be accessed by guests. 
    • the downside is that there is no bulk change, and all users creating new pages would have to restrict this access by default (with some app or users would need to be educated about this new process)

But, I found interesting info:

  • Each individual guest can have access to one space at a time

  • There is no limit on the number of total spaces that can be shared with guests

  • There is no limit to the number of guests that can be in one space

With that in mind if you need grant access to 1 page, maybe it would be easy to just create a 1 separate space for guests and then clone (copy and move) those individual pages into it?

Then all guest would have access to copies of the special pages, without access to full story / data from other clients etc. 

This would be easier to restrict (than whole space), because in this space for given page each guest user could be added as editor, and all 'clones' would be restricted to single dedicated guests + users from original space.

When the job/review is done page could be moved back to original space.

Things to consider: edition history, page comments, resolved inline comments

That could work ^^

Thanks Lukasz!

That space solution proposal sounds like the way to go. I´ll have a go on it!

Cheers,
