Permission & Restriction

Ivan Komkov April 9, 2019

Hello!

Tell me, please, how it is necessary to configure permissions so that the new user confluence does not see the previously created spaces, but see only those that are granted access to it in the list of spaces.

Hi @Ivan Komkov 

you should create a usergroup for the new space you are creating. Don't add the users to any former groups you are already using - only to your new group. 

This should work out.

@Fabienne Gerhard Thanks for the answer, but the user is not added to any groups except the new one, for which, in the global settings, authorization is allowed

@Ivan Komkov if you give permission to groups that have access to those spaces there is no chance taking permissions from users that are part of these groups. Permissions and restrictions in Confluence are working the way that you are giving them to groups and people on global, space and site level and not taking them for some people.

@Fabienne Gerhard 
Maybe I do not quite understand you correctly. let's try to make out my situation step by step:

1) create a user of new confluence 2) assign him a group 3) create a space to which this user needs access (there is also a list of spaces to which neither the new group nor the new user has access) 4) in the global group permissions, we set a checkbox for authorization to confluence 5) in the permissions of the new space we affix a new group

and after these actions, the user sees the previously created spaces, he cannot edit them, but he can view them, and I need him to have neither list of spaces nor read access. Moreover, the user sees in the list of spaces not all the spaces that were previously opened, but as if only a certain amount. The feeling that confluence has some amount of space that is given to the user for viewing by default.

Hi @Ivan Komkov sorry for not answering earlier - I was out of office 

it's possible that in the settings users are set in a certain group by default. This accords to the group settings. We had a similar problem that most of the users were set to group confluence-users. Have a look on your standard group memberships for your groups. This may help.

I was wondering if perhaps those users have been accidentally added to the confluence-administrators group?

Screenshots of the global permissions and some sample space permissions might be helpful here.
