Parent page user access

[Chris Norton]

If we have a parent page, and four pages below that how do I grant a user to all of those pages?  If I just grant access to a parent page, do they automatically have access to the sub pages?

One fact to remember; there is page restrictions and there are space restrictions.

person A can be added to page restrictions but if they are not in a group that can see the space the page restrictions is moot.

Hi, @Chris Norton !

Yes, it is possible, it is called inherited page restrictions. 

Look at documentation, please.

The inherited page restrictions only has anyone can view/edit, all can view, some can edit, only restricted users can view/edit.  It tells me nothing about parent/child relationships.

It says that the child page inherits the parent page restrictions.  So does that mean if I add someone to the parent page, which has restricted view/edit then the child page is the same? I am just tired of having to add one person to every single page.  I would like to add them to the parent page and have them be able to view the child page by default.

If we are talking about inheriting "view" restrictions - it is ok.

To check it on your case look at your child-pages, they should have the second padlock:

Well this helps me quite a bit. I appreciate the response.  I thought "anyone can view" meant that anyone on the internet could view.  But does this really mean anyone on my space?  Maybe that's also where I get  confused.
