Confluence V4.x Security v.s. V3.5

[Aron Hausler]

Hi, we are considering upgrading our intRAnet to Confluence V4.x from V3.5.

Our use may include a blend of spaces that are commercial-in-confidence with some that are shared (public within our IntRAnet). We need to make sure that we keep the permissions at the right level so that only people who 'need-to-know' can access the x-in-confidence material.

Does anyone know if there are any significant differences between Confluence V3.5 and V4 in terms of its security model or features?

Cheers + thanks

Hi Aron,

See this page for a detailed overview of security in Confluence. There are no significant differences between 3.5 and 4.0 in terms of the security position. In particular, permissions applied at page, space and global levels will continue to be respected after upgrading.

Cheers,
Mark
