Guest Confluence account unable to edit

[Leigh Bartlett]

Good Afternoon, 

I've tried out the new guest account in Confluence for one of our users and swapped them from a fully licenced account to a guest - as they only have access to one space - however, they weren't able to edit pages. 

They can edit their own pages - but not ones by other users. 

They previously could do that with their full licence and I can't see any difference in permissions. 

Is that expected behaviour or have i set something up wrong?

I tried the new Guest feature to invite a new user to the space, but I get a 403 when I try to update a page via rest API with the generated API token. Only get requests returns page content.

I already added the guest with "view and edit only" for the pages and it's parents.

Hi @Leigh Bartlett you can refer to this document for what a Guest can do and cannot do.

That doc suggests that a guest can edit all pages within a space, not just their own (restrictions permitting of course). 

I've not tried guest access yet, so I don't have a way to test any of this, kind of hoping someone finds an answer before I get around to it!
