As a tool for communication and collaboration, Confluence is best used the more users you have participating on the site.

So we recommend you design a security system that doesn't restrict a user unless you can think of a very good reason for it. Because Confluence tracks histories of changes, it is easy to see who has changed what, and to reverse any edits, if required.

However, Confluence gives you the choice to make the site as open or closed as you want.

There are three levels of permissions in Confluence.

グローバル権限

Global permissions are site level permissions.

(info) This topic is covered in the Site Administrator's Guide.

What you do need to know is that the permission to create a new space or to administrate one is granted by a site administrator from the global Administration Console.

スペース権限

Every space has its own, independant set of permissions. In order to assign these permissions, a user must have the 'administrate space' permission for that space.

Page Permissions

You can further set page level restrictions, if you have the permission yourself to 'restrict pages'.

If you misconfigure a space so that nobody has access to administer it any more, you will need to have someone in the confluence-administrators group fix the permissions for you.
