You can filter the spaces, which will be shown:

  1. By space name: All spaces containing your search term will be shown

Editing space permissions

After selecting a user/group, you can edit their space permissions:

  1. Click on the according checkboxes, where you want to set/remove permissions for the selected user/group

  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 was the orignal setting.

  • If you want to apply/remove all permissions to/from a user/group for a space, you can use the checkboxes on the left side of the list.

  • In case you selected a user, checkboxes will have a blue background if the user has permissions for that case by a group membership.

Apply and removing permissions to and from all spaces

In case you want to apply/remove a permission to/from all non-personal spaces for a user/group:

  1. Click on the button on top of the list in the column of the permission you want to set. The top one applies permissions to all non-personal spaces, the bottom one removes them from all non-personal spaces.
    The selected permission will be set for all non-personal space sin your Confluence, meaning also those spaces which are not shown on the current page in our app.

  2. When you are sure, you want to set that permission, click on “Yes” in the pop-up window. After that the changes take effect immediately. You do not have to click on “Save permission changes”

Tips

  • This feature only sets permission for non-personal spaces.

  • In case you have a lot of spaces in your Confluence this action might take a while.
