Why can public users add pages to my site?

Moon Muse May 19, 2024

Hi Guys, 

When I view my page from a public user I have the create page option, even though its not turned on in settings. Am I missing something?

Hi @Moon Muse 

Ensure that your Anonymous users setting is set to All - View only. Chances are that you also enabled Pages - Add.

If public users can add pages to your site, it's crucial to investigate the root cause promptly. This issue could stem from lax permissions settings, open registration systems, or security vulnerabilities.

By ensuring that only authorized users with appropriate permissions can create pages, tightening registration processes, and regularly updating and securing your website, you can mitigate this risk effectively.

Regular monitoring and auditing of user-generated content can also help promptly identify and remove any unauthorized additions. Remember, maintaining strict control over content creation is essential for maintaining the integrity and security of your website, especially in a competitive market like web design Dubai.

Hi @Moon Muse ,

Do you enabled guest access? By default, guests will have the following space permission settings.

What can guests see and do in Confluence?

Screenshot shows that guests are only granted view page, add page, comment, and add attachment space permissions by default.
