"only visible to me" as default for personal spaces

[Volker Blum]

Hi,

my customer is working on DC now needs to know how any personal space can be set - per default - to private? Or at least show the checkbox "only visible to me" that occurs only when you create a blank space.

I did not find an answer - removing the default group from the permission affects all spaces, but this should be activ only for the personal spaces.

Thanks for any help.

Hi @Volker Blum 

The personal space in confluence is per default private. 
However, it is important to note that this applies to the "personal space" feature. 
See: Create your personal space.

I think this the best solution for your Problem, as far as I understand. 

Best,
Erik

Hello @Erik - I do not agree that personal spaces are per default private. Actually you need to go to permissions and remove the default group to make it private. This is also documented in the page you linked.

This is the step that the customer wants to avoid.

So, I am still searching - problem is that a normal user would also think that "personal" means "private"..

But thank you anyway, I always appreciate any response from the community.

Cheers

Hi @Volker Blum 
yes, you are right sorry for that. 
This is a little bit confusing, since in our instance personal spaces do not have standard permission upon creation.

But sorry for that mistake!

Best,

Hi @Erik ,

thank you for this information. No problem, this is actually confusing.

Just curious: how do you manage your permissions then? This seems to be exactly what my customer is looking for.

Thx and cheers

Hi @Volker Blum 
I double checked our config and you're right.
So as you said, we have configured, that no space has any group permission per default. 
This does the trick, but I understand, thats not what your customer wants.

I'm afraid, that there is currently no way to do this, other than this.

If someone else can prove me wrong, I'd be very happy!

Nevertheless, sorry for the confusion and good Luck!
If you find something out, please let me know :-)

Best,
Erik
