change space admin

[Clarissa Schelp]

Hi,

we have a space where a deleted user was the administrator.
Unfortunately we can't change the permissions.
Is it possible to change the administrator of the space with a global admin?

Thank you all!

Hello @Clarissa Schelp ,

Yes, Confluence Administrator can change Space Administrator permission from X user to Y user or he can add as many users as possible to space Admin permission. 

For more details, please follow Assign space permissions.

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Hi @Clarissa Schelp 

if there is no other admin of this space available, only a user of the confluence-administrators group can edit the permissions in the space permissions page of confluence or dorectly via the space's tools.

Cheers!

so what u say is the list of space admins in Spate Tools/Overview tab/Administrator field cannot be changed/updated ? And the only possibility is to play with space permissions groups and users in the other Permissions tab ?

Hi @dan papuc 

no, I am not saying that. I meant to say that only the Confluence Admin can assign new people to be the space admin.

Cheers!
