Confluence : Global Permissions Overview
This page last changed on Oct 05, 2006 by nicholas@atlassian.com.
Permissions determine what actions a user is allowed to perform within Confluence. Global permissions control which users can :
Global Permissions are granted in the Global Permissions section of the Administration Console. In order to assign these permissions, a user must already have the global 'Administrate Confluence' permission. Site administrators can assign global permissions to user-groups, individual users, and to anonymous users. Further permissioning is granted from the space administration Screens. Note about 'Administrate Confluence' permissionGranting a user 'Administrate Confluence' permission will not automatically grant her access to all spaces in the site. It will only grant the user access to the Administration menu. Automatically being an administrator of all spaces is only available to the special "confluence-administrators" group (internally called the superuser group). There is an outstanding enhancement request to replace the superuser group with something better. Be aware, however, that users will 'administrate' permission must still be trusted. They have access to modify users and groups in Confluence, so can always add themselves to the 'confluence-administrators' group and become a superuser. RELATED TOPICS
