Understanding restriction in Confluence pages
Last updated
Showing restrictions can be turned on by pressing the small lock on the control bar.
There are 4 different icons representing the restrictions for a page:
Opened grey lock: No restriction affects the page - accessible
Closed red lock: View restriction directly set on the page - view restricted
Opened red lock: View restriction inherited from a parent - view restricted
Blue open lock: No view, but edit restriction applied only - edit restricted
You can get a more detailed explanation of the set restrictions when hovering or clicking on the colorful restriction markers. If you wish to update a restriction, you can navigate to the page and use Confluence's built-in restriction editor.
You can change the root page for a macro to show only the expected pages. Read more here:
When the root page has an inherited view restriction (opened red lock), every page will inherit it. If a page contains any more directly set view restrictions, it will be marked with a closed red lock.
