Manage access to multiple pages at once by using the action Bulk restrict.

Please note, that this action is not available for Confluence instances using a Free plan, since there is no restriction management at all.



How to select multiple pages

Many of the actions you can perform on individual pages as bulk actions

Simply browse to the space navigator and select multiple pages as if you were selecting multiple files in a file explorer.

  • Windows users: hold the CTRL key and select the entities or select an entity and hold the shift key for faster multiple selections
  • Mac users: hold the command (cmd) key and select the desired entities.

After selecting the pages, right-click on one of the selected items and you will see all available bulk actions.

Select a single page and hold the shift key while selecting another page for a quicker selection of all pages in between.

Right-click on the page selection or, hover over one of the selected pages and click on the ellipsis menu "..."

Select the Bulk restrict action.

Select users or groups in the view dropdown to which you want to restrict the view rights of the pages.

Please note, that it is not possible to restrict the viewing rights without adding at least one user/group to the editing part. In case no one is selected, the current user is added automatically.

Select users or groups in the edit dropdown to which you want to restrict the edit rights of the pages.

Click on Save.


Please note:

  • By not selecting any users or groups from the dropdown, the selected pages become public again.
  • Each restricted page is highlighted with a tooltip that displays, upon hovering, the users or groups to whom the page is restricted.
  • If multiple pages with different access rights are selected, the drop-down lists (View/Edit) will show the combined restrictions of all selected pages.
  • When applying restrictions, the current user is always included and added to the list due to Confluence's own behaviour.
