Can't delete a page even though I'm the owner of the page

Hello,

We're experiencing a weird problem deleting pages, even though we own them.
The strange thing is that after creating several pages, I was able to delete them for about an hour, and then suddenly none of the pages I created could be deleted.

It doesn't seem to be a rights issue because I was able to delete them for a while but suddenly I couldn't anymore.

Thank you

Hi @Jems GOMEZ [X] ,

Can you confirm if you're an admin of a space where you want to delete the page/content?

If so, could you check if you have permission "Delete own content"? As you said, this is probably related to permissions. There is one active incident related to Confluence, which might be relevant, but the first stop would be to check space permissions.

The above screenshot is from the new space roles, but a similar thing applies to old space permissions.

What first comes to mind is that someone removed this permission from your account or from a user group you're in. 👀

Cheers,
Tobi

Hi Tobi,

It was indeed linked to the "Delete own content" permissions.

An administrator must have removed them. It's now fixed.

Thank you very much for your help.

Cheers,

Jems
