      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      When a restricted page is copied, the created page is unrestricted. That is not what I would have expected as a user.

      There are various complicating factors to consider:

      • What if the user copying the page doesn't have "restrict page" permission? Are the restrictions removed on the new page in that case? Should the user be warned somehow?
      • What if the user copying the page doesn't have permissions to edit the original page? I would expect them to have them included in the restrictions automatically.

            l really like working with the confluence WIKI.

            I really would appreciate if there's a way to copy permissions of a page.

            Even during the copy process by ticking a checkbox or later on in the "Restricted page" administration.

            Thanks for any way doing this.

            Would be awesome if you could indicate on the copied page, what the page was, where it originated from.
