Understanding the currently set restrictions and symbols in the page restriction tab
When looking at the table of pages the amount of information and settings displayed can be overwhelming.
Here is a short description of all symbols and their meaning.
Symbol/Setting | Meaning | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 | No restrictions | There are no page restrictions |
Editing restricted | Everyone can view the page, but only some can edit. | |
 | Viewing and editing restricted | The viewing and editing of the page is restricted. Only users/groups with permissions can view and/or edit. NOTE: Viewing restrictions are inherited to subpages, edit restrictions are not. |
 | Users/groups with permissions to the restricted page | Shows which users/groups have permissions in case the page is restricted. |

For the page you want to restrict/lift the restrictions, go to the column “Restrictions”
Choose a setting in the dropdown menu
When you are done making changes, click on “Save permission changes”
(You need to save the changes you made, before going to the next page)If you want to “Reset” all made changes and restore the original state, click on “Reset”.
Tip
To find out the original setting (without having to reset all made changes), have a look at the following:
originally “No restrictions”: open lock and no people-icon next to the drop down
originally “Editing restricted”: open lock and a people-icon next to the drop down
originally “Viewing and editing restricted”: closed red lock and a people-icon next to the drop down
Managing permissions for restricted pages for a user/group
You can also edit the page permissions of a specific user/group
Selecting the user or group
To view or manage page permissions for a certain user/group you have to select the respective user/group:
In the last column, click on the “Select”-button

After selecting the user/group the currently set permissions for the pages in the selected space are shown.
Editing page permissions for a user/group
After selecting a user/group, you can edit their space permissions:
Click on the according checkboxes, where you want to set/remove permissions for the selected user/group
Note
Depending on the Restrictions set for a page, checkboxes will be disabled.
e.g.: If “no restrictions” is selected for a page, you won’t be able to check the view and edit checkbox for a user/group.If you check the “edit permission”-box, view permissions will be checked automatically
2. When you are done making changes, click on “Save permission changes”
(You need to save the changes you made, before going to the next page)
Tips
Changes will be marked with an asterisk, so you always know what the orignal setting was
In case you selected a user, checkboxes will have a blue background if the user has permissions for that case by a group membership
Next to the “view permission”-checkboxes of a subpage an “info”-icon is shown, reminding you that this subpage might inherit view permissions from its parent page.
