Permission to a Page but not the space

[Lianna DeVries]

I have a couple of external consultants who need access to certain pages in Confluence. I don't want to allow them to see the whole Space. And I don't want to move the pages into their own space (which they could have permission to).

I attempted to put these specific pages under 1 parent page and allow access to that Parent page to the consultants BUT this isn't working unless they have access to the space. 

Help!

Hi @Lianna DeVries ,

As per my knowledge it is not feasible. Without having permission on space, you can't enable access to the pages of the space.

Just to add to @Sreenivasaraju P answer, and it is correct that you cannot give users only access to a page (Atlassian are working on public links that would allow anyone to view a page without access to anything else), one option would be to add your external users as guests in Confluence. You would still have to give them access to the space, but they do not count towards your licenses.

 I found a way to do this: 

• I opened up space permissions to the Consultants (consultant_group) and My Company (confluence_users)
• I created two Parent Pages. 
  • Parent PageA: I locked down viewing access to confluence_user group which is all of our internal users.
  • Parent PageB: I left open. 
• Now all of my company can see both parent pages. The consultants only see the Parent Page B. 
• If I need further locking down by groups, I can add then on the Space level too (example, Project_managment group)

Essentially, I put all of the Space's pages under 1 page and locked down that page. And allowed the consultants into the space but not that page.
