Mentions in restricted confluence pages

[Nahuel Sotelo]

What happen when I mention other Confluence users in a page that is restricted to them (viewing and editing). They receive a notification or nothing happen?

I know that this behaviour is a bit counter intuitive but I like to use mentions in my personal pages if, for example, I need to remember to schedule a meeting with someone in the future but I don't want to spam people with notifications. 

Thanks

Hi Nahuel,

You're safe!  Confluence checks to see if users have permissions to view a page/space before it sends them notifications.  If the user can't see the page, they won't get notified that they were tagged on it.

Thanks for the reply Jason!

How about this: 

I'd like to set up a Project page, first as a restricted page and mention all members. And when the Project starts I would set the page to 'open'. 

Do all mentioned users get the notification then?

thx.
