Labesls creation - Who can create them and how ?

[Iuliana Burgi]

Hello,

I would please have 2 questions related to the creation of labels in Confluence.

I read your article on how to create them and I was able to do it myself in the settings, but I am admin.

My questions are:

1. Can all users (and by this I mean the category confluence users) create labels for their Spaces by modifying the settings of the space ?

2. If we do not modify the setting and we do not create a label, will a part of the name of the space or description be automatically taken and added as a label ?

I am asking the 2nd question because I created a space yesterday, just for trial. I did not added any label, but yet I saw a label to my space.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello Iuliana,

I will try to answer your questions:

1. Space Categories/Labels are only able to be changed by space Admins: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/use-labels-to-categorize-spaces-136647.html#UseLabelstoCategorizeSpaces-addcategoryCategorizeaspace

2. Space labels are added automatically also based on the type of space that is created. For example, if you create a space of type "Documentation", then the "documentation" label will be applied automatically. If you choose to use a blank space, then no label should be added. Of course, you can always go and remove the space label after the space has been created if you wish.

Hello,

Sorry, for sure with print screens it's easier.
