  1. To view your space permissions, navigate to your wiki space.
  2. Select Space Tools from the bottom of the left-hand menu. Note: If you do not see this option, you do not have administrative access for the wiki space.  This tutorial uses the default 'Global' theme.  If you are using the 'Documentation' theme, select Browse > Space Admin.

  4. Now that we are on the permissions page, we can see the groups, individuals, and anonymous access for this space.  Below you will see some Some of the common groups that have been added for a lot of spaces are:
    1. ITS-HD-Staff = ITS Help Desk Staff
    2. ITS-SITA = ITS Student Instructional Technology Assistants
    3. confluence-users = All individuals (external & internal) with a wiki account
    4. uiowa-users = Only individuals with a HawkID

  5. While many permission levels exist, most needs will be met with View, Add Pages, and Add Comments permissions.

    Note

    Anonymous Access: It is not recommended to allow anonymous creation of content (comments, pages, or blogs). Any individual can create a wiki account, so we recommend using 'confluence-users' (mentioned above) to allow open access to your wiki. This will allow better tracking of revisions and blocking of unwanted users.


  6. To be able to access the Space Admin area (which includes space permissions and themes), the Space Admin column needs to be checked
  7. To adjust permissions, select the Edit Permissions button (it doesn't matter which one)

    Note
