Confluence spaces, by default are visible to the general public, but require a logged in use in order to make changes. Confluence provides a few different ways to limit access to either an entire space or specific pages in a space.

Table of Contents

Space-Level Permissions

In your Confluence Space, navigate to the tools icon on the left side of the screen. 



Select Permissions on the top level navigation


Access to a space can be set for either a group or an individual.

Defaults

By default, all TUL staff who use Confluence are part of the confluence-users group.

Limit entire space to specific individuals

If you would like only specific users to be able to view and modify (the "Add" permission) content in a space, click Edit Permission, then click Select All next to the group name. 

Anonymous Users

Access to a Confluence space by individuals who are not logged in is governed by this "Anonymous Access" at the bottom of the page. To remove anonymous access, click Edit Permissions and uncheck the permissions or click Select All



Page-Level Permissions

On the space-level permissions page (above), click Restricted Pages to view which pages in your space have restrictions.
