Troubleshoot permission problems fast
Have you ever needed to access a restricted page when a team member was out on vacation or has left the company? Unless someone can grant access to the page, that content can be lost forever, making it difficult for teams to move work forward without key information or context.
Luckily, with Confluence Premium, admins get access to advanced permissions that can help troubleshoot permission problems in just a few clicks.
What is admin key?
As a Confluence admin, you might encounter situations where you need access to content that you don’t currently have permission to view. This could involve unlocking a restricted page or space created by an inactive user, or diagnosing access issues.
Admin key offers temporary elevated access to restricted content for real-time support and configuration without altering permanent permissions, improving both security and compliance. This feature enables Confluence and site admins to effectively manage these permission problems while maintaining control over security and compliance.
What is inspect permissions?
Additionally, inspect permissions provides a detailed view of who has access to a specific page, helping admins swiftly analyze and resolve permission conflicts. If you’re not sure why a user does (or does not) have permission to view, edit, or comment on a page, you can inspect and edit their permissions from that page. For example, granting users access to a previously restricted page. You’ll also get a report showing at which level of the page, space, and product hierarchy they’re being denied (or allowed) permissions.
Together, these advanced permissions feature support smooth workflows and uninterrupted collaboration by allowing admins to manage access levels and quickly resolve permission problems.
