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

      A customer requested for a new feature to restrict access to page history only to a particular group or certain users.

            Very important to have this. 

            We're using Confluence in connection with Jira ServiceDesk, so all our customers are unlicensed read-only users of the Knowledge Base. It should be possible to prevent these unlicensed users from seeing any page histories!

            Yes this is indeed a very important feature.

            I want to build a confluence site open for public participation (like wikipedia).

            Everybody can register and change pages. I really do not want everybody to load older versions.

            This has come up during our ongoing Confluence evaluation as well. How can we trust a system if anyone can "change history"?

            There should be a permission/restriction setting to restrict history modification to site or space admins. It's the only way to guarantee auditability and one of our most important requirements.

            Actually, the request is not only to restrict viewing, but - most important given the implications... - to restrict rights to delete older versions from the history to certain users or groups.
            Thanks for logging this.

            +1 (although not overly high priority for us)
