To set up a new global space, you need the 'Create Space' permission. 'Create Space' is one of the global permissions that can be assigned by a Confluence administrator.

To create a new global space:

  1. Click Add Space located above the list of global spaces on the dashboard, or at the top right of the dashboard, or at the top right of the space directory. The 'Create Space' dialog appears.

  2. Enter the following information about your new space:


    • Space name: A name for the space. Space names do not have to be unique.

    • Space key: A simple key to identify your space (A-Z, a-z, 0-9). This key is a shorthand name for the space, used when linking content between spaces, for web URLs and for reports. For example, a 'Development Space' might have a space key of 'DEV'. The space key must be unique within the entire Confluence site.

    • Make this space private: A private space will be visible only to the person who created it. If you do not make it private, the space will have the default space permissions. The creator wil have space administrator permissions on the new space, and can change the permissions at any time after creating the space.

  3. Click Create. The home page for your new space is displayed. Note that the home page will automatically contain any default space content as defined by your Confluence administrator.

Next, you can choose a theme and start adding pages to your space.

注意

Does the screen look different?

  • In Confluence 4.2.3 to 4.2.5, the 'Create Space' dialog asked you to define some simple 'User Permissions', instead of setting the option to 'Make this space private'.
  • In Confluence 4.2.2 and earlier, a larger 'Create Space' screen appeared instead of the 'Add a space' dialog. The 'Create Space' screen included options for the space name, space key and permissions, similar to the 'Add a space' dialog. It also included the option to choose a theme.
  • In all versions of Confluence, the space administrator can change the permissions at any time after creating the space.
