Share specific pages of confluence project

[Nate Dickinson]

I have a confluence project where I'd like to share a single document with another user on our confluence license. I see the permissions function to allow them to view all pages in a space. This works well for company based documentation, but in this case I'm working with my personal space which I'd like to limit access to. is there a way to share a page without giving them access to my entire set of documents? 

This is a mock up of what I'd like to see:

@Nate Dickinson You will need to give them access to the space and then put page restrictions on the pages that you do not wish to share.  Confluence is a collaborative product so what you are doing is backward from how it is set up.  In cases like this, I usually lean on public links.  You can share a specific page with someone through a public link.  This makes it available to everyone with the link but is an easy way to share it for a short period of time. https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/share-content-externally-with-public-links/ If you need them to edit the page or collaborate on the page this is not a good solution.

Is there a way to set default permissions for pages upon creation, or bulk edit all page permissions then? In this case I probably have 100 documents that I'd like to restrict visibility for.

You can give access to a space.  The use page restrictions to lock down pages you do not want an individual to see. Child pages inherit parent page restrictions.  So I would do something like this.

My Space (Open to everyone who I have given access to)

• Private Page 1 (Has Page Restrictions and all Child pages inherit them)
  • Child 1
  • Child 2
• Private Page 2 (Has Page Restrictions and all Child pages inherit them)
  • Child 1
  • Child 2
• Private Page 3 (Has Page Restrictions and all Child pages inherit them)
  • Child 1
  • Child 2
• Open (No Page Restrictions)
  • Child 1
  • Child 2

Hopefully this helps understand how to use page restrictions to make information private.
