Permission Explorer & Manager consolidates Confluence's scattered page restrictions into a clear matrix.
🔎 Explore Permissions
Select any users or groups to instantly see, page by page, who can view and edit. It resolves inheritance from parent pages, space permissions, and group membership.
Identify surprises: pages a person can't access due to ancestor restrictions, pages shared more widely than expected, and pages only one person can edit.
🔧 Manage Permissions
When you find something to fix, act on it in place: grant or remove view/edit access for a user or group, open up content by lifting restrictions, and apply changes on one page or many.
-
Bulk changes run as durable background jobs that survive closing the tab.
-
Single changes apply instantly.
A pre-flight check warns you before you lock yourself out, reopens a page, or grant something that won't take effect—and automatically includes ancestor pages a grant needs to be effective.
📋 Action History and Saved Filters
-
Every change is recorded in a 90-day action history (who, what, where, outcome).
-
Save your common searches as private saved filters and reuse them with a click.
🔒 Built for Trust
-
Runs on Atlassian - no external servers or third-party data sharing.
-
Stores only your saved filters and a 90-day change log with opaque account IDs; never your page content.
-
Accessible to space admins and users with Restrictions permission; all changes undergo server-side authority checks.
Scope note (please read): Permission Explorer & Manager shows the pages visible to the person running it. It is a per-user effective-access view to help administer restrictions - not a site-wide compliance audit that surfaces pages hidden from the current user. Run it as a space admin for the broadest view.
