    Description

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

      Editing a space's permissions under 1.0 requires the administrator actually clicks through to the space's summary and from there goes to editing the permissions. Even for a fairly simple Confluence setup with multiple user groups and multiple spaces, administering the permissions is already getting quite cumbersome and it's quite hard to get a picture of what spaces a single group or user can actually view/edit/etc.

      Please add a new tool into the Administrator section which lists all the spaces in the system and lets the admin edit the spaces permissions without having to go through to the summary of the space. Also please make it possible to list the space access rights of a group and/or a user to make it possible to view what content access the user or group has.

      Atlassian update: Released in Confluence Data Center 7.3

      Hi everyone

      Thanks for your comments and feedback on this issue. In Confluence Data Center 7.3, we released the ability to bulk apply permissions changes to other spaces. If you're an administrator, you also have the option to edit permissions on the fly, then copy these permissions to other spaces. This is incredibly useful when you create a new group, and want to give that group the same permissions in several existing spaces. 

      Please note that there are no plans to ship this to Confluence Server.

      Head to Inspect permissions to learn more, or check out our new Permissions best practices guide

      Thanks
