I'm building a documentation space for internal use at my organization. By default, only Confluence admins can change page restrictions, but that gets tedious when several system administrators are making pages that need different restrictions for their teams. When I give a user the ability to change restrictions, they can change restrictions on all pages. There is no middle ground for restriction settings.

What would help is the ability to permit page creators to change restrictions on pages they create and child pages under those pages. These user-imposed restrictions could be overridden by a space admin as need be. The ability for a user to change restrictions on pages they've created could be added/removed by a space admin via permissions, and it might even be controlled on a page-by-page basis if needed. The default permission would be what it is currently: users lacking permissions to change restrictions. Like the "Delete Own" permission, it could be the "Restrict Own" permission.

I'm not sure what the perfect implementation would look like, but these are the thoughts I have.
