            Hi everyone,

            This is Nataliia from the Confluence team. Thank you for raising this bug and bringing it to our attention. After our investigation into this issue, we weren’t able to reproduce the behavior within our instances. We would like to get to the root cause of what you’re experiencing. Could you provide some more details or a screenshot to help us narrow down this case?

            We will keep this issue open for another 14 days, but if we don’t hear back by then we will need to close this out to focus on our upcoming roadmap for all Confluence users.

            Best,

            Nataliia

            "Immense" by my experience means 50 user permissions (resulting in 50 view and 50 edit permissions).
