Confluence custom roles currently allow admins to grant {}Edit content{}, but that permission lets users edit content across the entire space.

It would be helpful to have a separate {}Edit own content{} permission, similar to the existing {}Delete own content{} permission.

The goal is to create a limited contributor role where users can:

• View content in the space
• Create new content
• Edit content they created
• Not edit content created by other users

Adding an *Edit own content* permission would give admins more flexibility when creating custom roles and would support a more practical least-privilege permission model.

Workaround

Today, the only real workaround is using page restrictions, which can become difficult to manage at scale.
