View/Read only confluence license

[Motunrayo Omotade]

I will like to enquire if there is a view/read only license for users just to be able to view information that has been posted in confluence but not edit or add anything in it.

Hi @Motunrayo Omotade Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If you enable anonymous access, anyone can have read-only access to your pages and those users won't count against your license.

From this page - The License Details page will indicate the number of users currently signed up (your registered user count). It:

• includes only users who have the 'can use' global permissions for the Confluence site. 
• does not include anonymous users, who may access your Confluence site if you have allowed anonymous access.
• does not include deactivated users.

Hi @Kishan Sharma I've added anonymous access to view but they also seem to be able to edit which is not the intention. can you help?

Hi @Michelle Martineau 
Please check if you have given Pages add permission to Anonymous users, you should only grant View access to them, refer below screenshot -

I don't have that view for anonymous users, this is what I see.  Where can I access the view you provided?

Looks like you are on the "View Global Permissions" screen. The screenshot I pasted was from my space, Go to  Space tools > Permissions from the bottom of the sidebar. As a space administrator you must grant anonymous users permissions on a space by space basis. See Make a Space Public to find out how to do this.
