Hi, we are also interested in that feature, please ensure that users/groups without admin rights can be mapped for a right to maintain confluence templates

We really need this function on a lot of projects across all corporations.

yes please. 11 years in the making... I believe in you Atlassian.

Would be great to have this feature

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

Yes ... we absolutely need this....

Yeah we need this.

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.)

This is spamming the 144 watchers each time...

To add a workaround solution for anyone interested:

Scriptrunner includes the Create Page macro that is a more flexible version of the create from template macro. It allows to create pages based on other pages --> You can simple create a "page templates" section in your space and place regular pages in it that should be used as templates. Grant selective edit permissions to the subpages without the need to be space admin.

Then replace the create from template macros with the scriptrunner variant and tell it to use the pages in your template section as the template. This has the added advantage that we have full version history of the template pages and can apply approval processes (e.g., with comala workflows) to the template pages. The only drawbacks are that the title bar "... create from template" button does not show them and that instructional text cannot be added to the "now-regular-pages templates".

This feature is so needed. Given that this Jira is created in 2012, it is hard to keep my hopes up, fingers crossed

The intent is keeping adding comments to this issue until we get enough votes / attention to get it done.  Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

@kevin J.Conway. You keep answering the same for long time already, not only in this thread but also on many other related that have been closed

We need this! An admin often has nothing to do with content management. Please make this so it can be separated and delegated.

+1. This would be very useful

Please create new permission for this. More and more users must create and edit templates but must not become a space admin (we even have to register a temporary exemption for this user in ISO documentation)!

Another +1 here. Template creation is part of the content creation process and not an administrative action. It doesn't make sense that the right to create and edit templates is lumped in with space administration.

+1! 

Very key as groups scale and spaces for different teams doing the same thing (or vice versa) are created.

+1 (push it)

This feature is really needed. Same issue here. It should be easy to implement. Please...

This would make Confluence much more user friendly for my team. We all contribute to documentation on a repeated basis, and manually recreating the same format is tiresome and leads to inconsistencies between authors. We should be able to create and edit templates without needing to be a space admin.

This would be nice for both Data Center AND Cloud.

Has anyone dug in to see if that permission can be moved in the Database?

We'd like this feature as well...

We'd like this feature as well. Our Confluence space is used by multiple roles - BA, designer, developer and testers. Each role wants to create some templates, which may evolve with time. Ideally we want someone to create the initial template for their role, and then other people with the same role can edit that template if they need. When only the admin user can edit the template, people are less motivated to let the admin know that a small change is needed. Instead they will just manually make that change every time they use that template, which totally defeats the purpose of a template.

We would like this!

@sean, where's your holiday spirit! We can get a miracle if we just BELIEVE!!!

For anyone new here that has some amount of hope: Created 19/Dec/2012 7:41 PM

And then even more importantly, the ticket that precedes this one: Created 07/Apr/2005 12:49 AM

The addition of this feature would be an excellent enhancement. Right now I consistently need to create documents that comply to a template that I cannot create for my team confluence space. To circumvent this I am constantly copying existing documents to create new ones. It doesn't make sense that I should need admin privileges to create a simple reusable template.

Please, Atlassian!

Keep on adding comments and likes on this so that it gets attention.

Atlassian's pro-customer approach is worthless.. ticket unassigned, obviously they do not pay any attention to it.. just sending tons of emails about cloud every day.. that's exactly what everyone needs.. this is not a nuclear power plant, just small change with huge impact.. unbelievable..

The oldest comment is nearly 10years old. This issue will never be acknowledged.

We'd also like to see the access to templates opened up to non-admin users. 

Upvoting by adding a thumbs up to like it.  Let;'s get some attention on this.

Please implement.  Templates should exist with permissions at the workspace level. The problem with global is that Confluence ends up with too many admins.

Please, implement this fast!

All I want to for the holiday season is to have this long outstanding feature request finally acknowledged and acted on.

@everyone you need to click the emoticon to give this a thumbs up to upvote it.

Security concern. We are obliged to give admin rights, which is not ok. very depressing that each important feature is open for many years. 

This really needs to be implemented going on the principle of least access you should be able to apply the template permissions without giving a user full admin access. This is a security concern as they will then be allowed to modify the permissions of other users and could potentially cause issues with the system intentionally or unintentionally.

This is coming on 9 years that this has been open.  Why can't we get an update to state that yes this will done in such and such a release or that they is no intention of ever providing this functionality?  As the previous poster has pointed out. this is an obvious requirement to secure our servers.

This is another one of those "WTF" things.  It's obvious that we would want to give users the ability to manage templates without making them an administrator!

We need this! Come on, what is the harm in for users to create their own templates that it has to be restricted to admins?

We need this 

We positively need this at investify as well - user should be able to create/edit templates without having broader space admin rights. Thanks!
