Setting Global Site Permissions
Steps to manage site-wide roles to groups, individuals, and anonymous visitors.
This guide is to help System Administrators set global permissions across the entire Confluence site. This means enabling roles for groups and individuals, as well as setting global access permission to anonymous visitors.
Navigate to the View Global Permissions page
This page is in the Confluence Administration area (or "back end"). You must be a System Administrator to access this page.
There are two ways to access the Global Permissions page.
Navigate via the Confluence Administration menu:
Located in the left-column sidebar, under Users & Security
Direct URL:
Click the "Edit Permissions" button
Located in the top-right corner of this page. This will toggle open the permission selection options.
Grant permission to groups or individuals as needed
It is recommended that you create all your groups in advance before setting global permissions.
Select the appropriate roles
To help you understand the roles, please visit Confluence Administrator or System Administrator.
