Managing space access and permissions for unlicensed users.

Our Atlassian Confluence site lehigh.atlassian.net/wiki has globally enabled the ability to share individual spaces with anonymous users although we highly recommend ONLY enabling view access for those anonymous users. This means that anybody on the internet can access the content on individual spaces if and only if allowed within those space permissions. Step 1 below outlines how to make an individual space viewable to anonymous users. Step 2 shows how to restrict access for those anonymous users to a group.

To provide view-only access to a group of sub group of users who may not have licenses to edit content within confluence there are 2 steps.

1. make the space available to “anonymous” users (a person with space admin access needs to do this step). We highly recommend that you only allow view access to Anonymous users.

2. set up page restrictions in the space. If you setup page restrictions at the home of the space, they should inherit down to all the pages below. In this example, we set page restrictions on the top level of the banner documentation space to allow the group f-s-everyone view access.

Groups that you can use that are automatically synced over from our Active Directory include

• f-s-everyone

• student-everyone

• affiliate-everyone

• retiree-everyone

• ir-everyone

If you have a large team of people that need to be added to a project, you can request an AD group be created and synced over to Atlassian where it can then be used to control access and permissions to and for projects and spaces. Request an Atlassian AD group
