Following our discussion of global permissions, let’s examine space-level access within Confluence. These permissions represent the most common understanding of Confluence access, as they dictate the actions users can perform within the system. Specifically, your capacity to view, create, and manage content, along with adding comments and archiving items, is governed by space-level controls. This article will detail the evolution of these permissions, including the transition from the previous system to the current role-based access controls (RBAC) implementation. Our subsequent post will delve into the new permissions introduced with the RBAC rollout. Space administrators are tasked with managing space-level permissions; however, Confluence administrators retain the capability to assume a Space Admin role if required. Notably, space permissions underwent a significant update in late 2025, shifting from legacy controls to role-based access controls (RBAC). This change eliminated the need for individual permission management.
