    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

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

      Currently, in order to create a Space Template, a user needs to a Space Administrator. I'd like to be able to allow users to create templates for their spaces without the other privileges that come with being an Admin.

      I see 2 main options, either of which would be acceptable:

      • Create a new permission, allowing users/groups to create Space Templates.
      • Simply allowing any user with Add Page permissions to Create Templates as well. (you could make this configurable, to allow users to retain the current way as well)

      I found issue CONF-3021, but it's 7+ years old.

            Please priortise this feature. Takes a lot of time to ask admins to create a template when I can just it do it myself.

            If we are going for workarounds, I can also suggest this little nugget:

            If you go into the source editor, you can use  <ac:placeholder> </ac:placeholder> to add placeholder text to a non-templated page.

            (If anyone knows how to turn this knowledge into a user macro that places code in the source editor, that could also come in clutch.)

            Thank you.  Mission accomplished - we now have a workaround that can be implemented for this issue.  Very grateful as I am sure many others are as well.
