      It seems that the permission "Page/Create" also restricts editing. I would have assumed that "Page/Create" controlled whether or not a user or group could add a new page to a space. But it also seems to restrict whether or not a user or group can edit pages within a space. Possible resolutions...

      1) This permission should be split up so that page creation and page editing are seperate.
      2) The permission should be renamed "Create/Edit" to reflect that this controls both creation and editing of pages.

            Hi Giuliano C., thanks for your attention!

            I don't mind changing to watch this basic issue from here to CONFCLOUD-38722, but really hope to get the correct solution, creating separate permissions for editing and creating pages, as soon as possible since I was aware of this problem in 2018.

            It’s unbelievable that this issue get nothing done since it was reported 16 years ago.

            We faced also this problem in my company. To avoid chaos in the organization of our confluence wiki, we want to allow only some users to create pages, but we want everyone to be able to collaborate and edit pages. But with current confluence infrastructure we can only grant both permissions or none. It would be great to separate the "page edition" from the "page creation".

            I would also like to have option 1). This is also related to this other issue: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-38722

            Vote for solution 1) This permission should be split up so that page creation and page editing are seperate.

            Still nothing have done with this issue?

            From 2005: 'The problem we have at the moment is that we are running out of horizontal space and therefore the button is called "create".'

            What's the problem at this (2017) moment?

            This is such a silly issue to be open for 11 years! It's the best mechanism we have for stopping chaos ensuing with 250 users - we want to tap into their knowledge regarding editing existing pages but we don't want them creating pages all over the place. So frustrating that this is still not possible.

            Hi Guys,

            This permission structure is causing some issues for our company as we have hundreds of contributors per space (of which we have over 100 spaces) however none of which we want to have add page access, we only desire them to be able to edit current page content. The absence of this permission separation causes hundreds of hours of unnecessary work throughout the company. This is an unnecessary financial bleed.

            Our team would also like to see a separation in the create and edit page permissions. Any chance you will add it to your feature backlog and plan it on your roadmap ?

            This feature would be very nice. We need this feature for our ITIL documentation of our infrastructure. So that we can assure a fix hierarchy of pages / layouts and users are only able to edit the content.

            We have a public website and this feature would make our life easier. We want to allow external users to be able to edit specific pages on a space but we don't want them to be able to create new pages.

            I just wanted to add support for create and edit page permissions to be split - this will give us the required control over permissions.

            We would also really appreciate to split the create and edit page permission. It's really missing and current state is confusing.

            For our shop, Solution #1 (splitting Page-Create and Page-Edit) would definitely be the right thing, giving us the granularity we were expecting when we started migrating our documentation material to Confluence. Anything planned for this year? (I see that priority level is 'Major')

            Thanks for the suggestion. We will consider it when we re-design our permission page. The problem we have at the moment is that we are running out of horizontal space and therefore the button is called "create".
