can users add watchers to a page?

[Nariman Riahi]

in Confluence I know administrators can add watchers. Is there a way to allow users to be able to add other watchers to a page too.

Jira does that and I am wondering if Confluence can do the same.

Hi there,

Yes you could if the user is the space creator/administrator or if its the user personal space. Please try the following steps

1. Click "Tools" (upper right)
2. Choose "Manage Watchers"
3. Add the user there

Hope it helps.

Cheers,

That still requires admin rights, isn't it?

[Septa Cahyadiputra]

Oh shoot missed that. Every pages, yeah only admin. Owner of the personal space and space, should be able to do this. Editing my answer to avoid any confusion.

Sorry.....

As far as I can see only an Admin user can do that.

[Septa Cahyadiputra]

Yup, only space admin or super users (member of confluence-administrators group)

I don't see "Tools" anywhere, even though I am space admin :(

I'm guessing we're using a newer version where things have changed :(

Found a solution here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/manage-watchers-218271870.html
