      Setting up e.g. a personal space and giving only the owner full access, anonymous access denied, some people (administrators?) still have access (can view, change permission and add comments). This is regardless of space or site restriction.

      We are using the build-in security systems shared with JIRA v6.0.1.

      This is a big issue for us, since confidential data has been made available to non eligible personal and we have hundreds of people all over the world using our setup which incl. several people with administrator rights.

            Hi bebrahimi

            Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue. The problem that you describe is intended behaviour, as administrators need to be able to manage all aspects of Confluence they may need to access pages and spaces that might be restricted to normal users. You can read more about page restrictions here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Page+Restrictions.

            There are a number of other people that have had to overcome similar challenges with restrictions to data. Hopefully the information on this page will help you come up with a solution that fits your requirements: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/4162/restrict-viewing-for-confluence-administrators.

            Regards
