Hi All,

I have added this feature to the plugin, Blog, Page and Template Tools for anyone interested. I am giving readers on this post a 75% discount on the purchase of this plugin, please use this link to purchase: https://promo.atlassian.com/SZVTN1.

See the Page Restrictions and Restricted Template macros.

It's quite silly to not enable administrators to restrict editing of important templates. Not a big deal if new templates are created but restricting change to critical templates is a no-brainer. Lack of ability to provide secure templates adds an unacceptable level of risk when utilizing vendors in the space.

Hi all,

Thanks for providing your thoughts and votes on this suggestion. I'm sorry it's been a while since we last provided an update.

Unfortunately, this suggestion isn't currently on our roadmap. This is because we're instead focusing on making a number of other improvements to Confluence permissions over the coming 6-9 months. We’re yet to finalise exactly which suggestions will be implemented as part of this work, but we’re strongly considering CONFSERVER-5095 and CONFSERVER-7089.

We do understand the value specifying permissions via templates would bring, and will reconsider this suggestion at a later date.

Best,

Jenny | Confluence Server Product Manager

+1 It would be great to have this feature! I need it ASAP

We definitely need this to protect templates from various groups in the organization. Creation of individual pages without the templates is really time consuming for the team at this point.

I especially agree that this feature is needed for global templates.  As far as I can understand at this point, your only options for visibility of a template inside of Confluence is to a single space or to everyone.  There are so many use cases that fall in between, "group access only", "specific user access only", "admin access only".  There is no way to control that so it this is a gap in Confluence permissions right now.

+1 - need this feature urgently!

would be great to see this feature in a future release!

Bump most necessary.

Agreed. This would be very helpful for us. This would also provide a 'draft' functionality for pages before release.. which would be more elegant that having to create the page from a template, move it to the user's (restricted) personal space for editing, then 'moving' to a public space when it's ready.

Adding my vote of interest for this feature.

This function would be very useful. Is there a chance to get this with a later release?

we are interested in the solution

We would really appreciate this functionality too. Watching with interest.

Any chance to get this in near future?

In our case, we are creating a page for each project. For the different kind of projects we are using the blueprints and each blueprint has a different permissions scheme.
So it is quite annoying to restrict every project page manually.

Best would be the possibility to inherit restrictions from the page where the template is created from. Same as it is done with blank pages.

Definitely worth developping

Please develop it!

This would be very useful!

That would help us in many situations! +1

We would need this too!

That would be great feature!

We have a similar need for Release notes being created, That page should not be visible at time of creation, but when the product is published would we remove the restriction. +1

I just encountered a need for this today. +1!
