Confluence permission management

Users and groups
Users are independent individuals that can log on to the confluence system. in most cases, a user represents a person, but you can also register an account for the partner to access the site. for example, a robot sitting in a chat-room and relaying the logs to a confluence page via the soap API might have its own user account.

On the Management page, the site administrator creates a new user through "Manage Users", or registers his/her account using the system registration page. if you do not want users to register their own accounts, you can disable registration in the "common configuration" section of the system management page: Set "allow public signup" to "off"

To facilitate management, you can add users to a group. you can create a new group in the "Management Group" section on the Management page. once a user is added to a group, the user in the group has any permissions of the group.

"Anonymous" User
"Anonymous" users are not actually real users, even though they are put on the permission management page. "Anonymous" not only indicates all users in the system, but also represents anyone who has not logged on to the system. (We call these "anonymous" users because they do not identify themselves)

For more information about setting anonymous access to the confluence system, see setting up anonymous access.

Two special groups: confluence-Administrators and confluence-Users
Confluence-administrators is a Super User Group. any user in this group has the permission to perform any operations on the site, regardless of other permission settings. users in the confluence-Administrators group are listed on the "Contact Administrators" page.

Confluence-users is the default group. All new users are added to this group. Therefore, no matter what permissions you assign to this group, they are assigned to the newly registered users by default.

Delete and disable users
The confluence system allows you to delete a user only when the user has no relationship with the site. if a user has edited a page, published a blog, or left a comment, confluence needs to keep the user in the system so that the user can maintain his or her previous knowledge. however, you can disable a user, and the disabled user cannot log on to the confluence system.

On the Management page, you can use the "Manage Users" menu to delete or disable users.

Permission
What operations can a user perform in the confluence system is determined by the permissions assigned to the user. In the confluence system, the user is managed by assigning the appropriate permissions to the corresponding user.

Confluence is a tool for communication and collaboration. the more people participate in the confluence system to discuss and edit pages, the more value you get. because confluence retains all the modification history, it is very convenient to check who modified what, or to return any edits that should not be done. in short, you need to fully consider the principle of permission allocation to design the confluence security. give users proper permissions (do not impose too many restrictions) so that they can do what they should do in the confluence system.

The confluence system has three levels of permissions: Global permissions, space permissions, and page-level permissions.

Global Permissions
You can assign global permissions in the "Global Permissions" section of the management interface.
