Use this interactive demo to learn how to invite and grant users access to a Confluence space.

Quick summary

Adding people to a Confluence space requires updating space permissions through the Space Settings panel. This process lets administrators grant view or edit access to individual users quickly and without leaving the Confluence interface.

Steps

Go to your space settings and click "Add Users" to begin managing access.
Click the "Edit" button to open the permissions editor for the space.
Enter the user's name or email address, then click "Add" to include them.
Check the boxes for "View" and any other permissions you want to assign to the user.
Click "Save" to apply the permission changes to the space.

📌 Why this matters

Managing Confluence space permissions is essential for teams that need to control who can view or edit shared documentation. Without proper access control, sensitive pages may be exposed to the wrong people or collaborators may be locked out of critical content. The ability to quickly add users and assign granular permissions directly from Space Settings ensures that workspace administrators can onboard teammates, contractors, or stakeholders without delays. Keeping Confluence access up to date improves team collaboration, documentation security, and overall project efficiency.
