      Workaround

      Refer to How to customize Velocity Template to allow only a Confluence administrator to delete a Space as a possible workaround to this feature request.

            we experience the same problem. A space admin deleted a space and it took quiet some effort to restore it. But let's face it: Atlassian doesn't care. Especially for the onprem versions. You can clearly see that the onprem versions are more in "maintenance mode" than in real development. Atlassian is milking the cow as long as possible and wants everyone to use their cloud.

            This can turn into a huge compliance issue if Space Admins have the ability to delete spaces.

            Hello,

            It's important point for us. I think the best way is two account approve option to deleting a space.

             

            Best Regards,

            Mustafa

            Hello together, 

            I am site and orga admin.

            When I use my site admin rights a notification is send to the owner/creator of the page I access. That's ok and in my opinion mandatory.

            BUT a space admin can access to ANY restricted page AND change the restrictions WITHOUT that any notification is sent! This is in my opinion a significant security and data protection leak.

            At least I demand that there comes a notification that the space admin enter and/or removed restriction.

            @Karen.Mustain – brilliant workaround!

            I'd update the description to include it myself, but I do not appear to have access.

            LOL...well, you know, it has been 16 years 4 months (and counting) since I reported it.
