This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Space Permissions Overview
It seems like you have to be a member of confluence-users group to see ANY spaces. However, what if I want to have a set of users access to only one space but NOT any others? Is that possible?
Hi Tim,
Sure. Each Confluence space has its own, independent permissions. If you don't want the confluence-users group to have access to a specific space, just make sure to exclude it when setting up the permissions for that space.
It is perfectly possible to add a group for one single space (e.g. you might create a Marketing group for the users of your marketing space and adding just that group to the space).
Hi Walter,
Here's what I tried:
When I log in with that user, and try to access that space, I get this error:
You are not permitted to perform this operation.
If I give confluence-users permissions to the space, I can get to it with my user but the user can see all other spaces too, which is what I do NOT want.
Thanks,
Tim
Hi Tim,
That adding the confluence-user group makes all spaces available to the user makes perfect sense. It means that he belongs to that group and the group has access to all other spaces.
There's a few things you should take a look at.
And then you should be ok.
Hi Walter,
Thanks, I figured this out. It turns out you HAVE to a member of confluence-users to have access to any spaces. BUT, confluence-users does not have to have access to any specific space. So I added the users to confluence-users and removed confluence-users from the space permissions.
Thanks,
Tim
